Hi there
Sorry this hasn't been picked up on I think it's because of the section you have posted it in
I will ask admin to move it then more people will see it
@Cher_Scope can you move this please
I would guess that yes either through your gp or consultant -
Hi @uk71
If the adult already has a health care professional involved in their care such as a GP or consultant, as @janer1967 mentioned, then speaking to them in the first instance would be helpful to get the ball rolling. Alternatively, many hospital trusts offer the option of self-referral which you can generally do via the Speech and Language department section of the hospital website.
Also, just to advise - I've tweaked the title of your post to help others spot it and also moved it to our 'Autism and Aspergers' category. Good luck with the referral and please let us know how you get on.
PS - thanks @janer1967 for letting me know about this
