Maximum 6 month waiting time for autism assessments

What the petition asks
It can take two years or more for children to receive an autism assessment after referral. This is far too long. A child and parents need the correct tools to help one another.
The Government should set a limit of 6 months for individuals to be assessed and provide the necessary funding to make this happen in every part of England.
