Newham Autism Diagnostic Service
The Newham Autism Diagnostic Service offers diagnosis, advice and signposting to adults living in Newham who have not had a previous diagnosis of Autism.
We aim to provide a clear and consistent pathway for Autism diagnosis; undertake Autism Diagnostic Assessments and signpost and highlight local support services.
This initiative is in line with the aspirations of the National Autism Act (2009) and the National Strategy for Autistic Children, Young People and Adults (2021), which sets out a national vision that all adults with Autism will be able to live meaningful and rewarding lives within a community that accepts and values them.
The overarching aims for the service are to:
• Develop a clear and consistent pathway for Autism diagnosis
• Undertake Autism Diagnostic Assessments
• Brief individualised post diagnostic interventions including highlighting local support services
The team will develop protocols and care-pathways, working closely with mental health and social care to deliver joined-up services.
