Delays in getting a diagnosis in the UK

its hard enough to get a child diagnosed unless they have developmental issues otherwise its like "tough".... which is stupid seeing as being diagnosed helps in a big way regardless of development problems. Adult diagnosis is somewhat pointless unless it impacts your life and is detrimental. if like me you have aspergers but can live independently then sadly its nothing more than a label.
The clinical lead for Suffolk Autism Service (i.e. the NSFT service) is Dr Paul Wendon-Blixrud and they're based in Stowmarket. The Mental Health and Autism Lead for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG (ie who commission NSFT) is Dr John Hague.
