Autistic children in Northamptonshire 'struggling' due to delays in diagnosis and help, watchdog report says

Autistic children in Northamptonshire 'struggling' due to delays in diagnosis and help, watchdog report says Both the education and the emotional health of autistic Northamptonshire children is suffering due to delays in assesment.


That is the conclusion of a report by the county's health watchdog, Healthwatch Northamptonshire which spoke in depth to 12 families who have a child with autism or ADHD.

It found that the route to any help from the NHS and Northamptonshire County Council is so maze-like parents are sometimes unsure if they are even on the official pathway. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
