Who can refer a person to the Autism Service?
Referrals must be made with the knowledge and consent of the person, or their parent/guardian.
Children under the age of 18years must firstly be seen by a paediatrician or psychiatrist, who will determine if an assessment by the Autism Service is required. The paediatrician or psychiatrist will then make a referral to the Autism Service.
Following referral to the Autism Service, a list of requirements for placement on the waiting list will be provided. These include the provision of a current:
- paediatrician’s report
- assessment of cognitive and/or developmental abilities
- Hearing test.
Once these reports have been received by TAS, the person's name is placed on the waiting list for assessment.
People aged over 18 years need a referral from a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
