Fund free autism assessments for all adults

Closed 140 signatures

What the petition asks

Improved understanding about autism means many adults are realising that the difficulties that they suffer in life are because they are autistic. However availability of assessments through the NHS is limited, with long wait lists, and many people pay thousands to get a private autism assessment.
