  • The referral is for a first outpatient appointment/new episode of care for the condition.
  • Your chosen provider offers the required autism/ adhd assessment service and holds a qualifying NHS Standard Contract with an ICB or NHS England for that service.  
  • You are not currently detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
  • You are not detained in prison or on temporary release from prison.
  • You are not currently serving as a member of the Armed Forces. Family members living in England are not excluded simply because a relative serves.

Често задавани въпроси

Необходимо ли е срещата с ADOS-2 да се проведе лице в лице?

Назначаването на ADOS-2 е важна ‘оценка на наблюдението’. Това означава, че се оценява как се представяте лично. Ето защо при повечето обстоятелства тази среща трябва да се проведе лице в лице. Има изключителни обстоятелства, при които е необходима виртуална среща за това, и затова в някои случаи тя ще се проведе виртуално.

Другите срещи могат да бъдат извършени виртуално и не е необходимо да бъдат извършени лице в лице.

Какви са сроковете за оценката ми?

Please see our Информационно табло за пациенти for current wait times for your first appointment (from the point of your referral being accepted). All waiting times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

Report times are subject to change, and dependant on various factors, please contact us if it has been over 8 weeks since your assessment for an up to date time frame.
