ASC pathway impossible to access

October 22, 2019

The process for referral to access the ASD assessment pathway is difficult and frustrating. There does not seem to be a clear or logical pathway, every step forward is met with challenges and obstacles which appear to be designed to prevent anyone accessing the support needed. The views, opinions and concerns of the parent are dismissed and only the observations of certain health professionals appear to be acceptable. No one should have to fight to get help, support and resources for their child and have to justify their concerns. We are 10 months into the process and are not yet on a waiting list.
