Shorten the time scale it takes to get someone diagnosed with autism

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The time scale to get our children diagnosed can take years and in the process of that our children are suffering more. There has to be a quicker way

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do in order to shorten the timescale for diagnosing autism.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if the long time it takes for a diagnosis is because there aren't enough qualified healthcare professionals, you could ask the Government to increase funding.
