Can I get a Children and Young People (CYP) autism diagnosis if I live in Northern Ireland?

We are not currently offering CYP autism assessments to clients who live in Northern Ireland due to the fact that South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust have written to ProblemShared (and all private providers) informing us that they will no longer accept remote autism assessments for CYP. Since then, the Trust has informed us that this position is also being taken by Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSC-NI).

For this reason, we will not be conducting CYP autism assessments for those that live in Northern Ireland until further notice.

This is due to the fact that it may severely limit the client’s ability to access post-diagnostic support from the NHS or other state institutions.
