In certain areas of London, NHS commissioners are considering not giving children a diagnosis of Autism because there are too many referrals!!!!!! How can they even think this is a good idea. To have kids not being given a diagnosis early , could seriously affect the lives of these children. I have a son who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when he was about nine, and his response to us was " thank goodness I know what the problem is, I thought I was going mad" . This was a nine year old's thinking of how he felt . Luckily the support was then ( eventually ) put in place through his school, college and university education, without this support I don't know how he could have coped with all the pressure of " thinking he was going mad" . Just to say we are extremely proud of him for how he has grown into a wonderful , caring person and achieving a Physics degree at Swansea Uni and going on to full employment.
So without an early diagnosis, none of this might have happened. They should not cut back on giving a diagnosis just to save money. What would the reaction be if they said they weren't going to give an early diagnosis to everyone who had Cancer?????

This mob just think about the money side of things, they aren't worried about patient care and support , they cannot wait to privatise the whole NHS and make a fast buck. Do not trust them. |  |

That is hideous. My son has autism, and was diagnosed at age 4. He's had the correct support since and is absolutely flourishing at school at the moment. What he can do with a PC amazes me, and a lot of it is self taught. Anyway, take the diagnosis and support away and most likely he'd not attend a mainstream school, and maybe not qualify for specialist support due to not being diagnosed with anything. This is what families are going to have to go through under these measures.
Costs, costs, costs and f*ck how it actually affects people. And with autism becoming more and more prevalent, people are going to need more support, not less. Hideous. Or are they trying to 'normalise' it in some way? I don't know.
Just when you thought this government had reached a low point they always find more and creative ways to surprise. Pack of empathy free, soul vaccuos c*nts that they are. |  |

Question.
Why is autism becoming more prevalent?
Is it just better diagnosis and reporting or is there some other reason at play? |  |

I'm guessing it's diagnosis, just like cancer, and other conditions. |  |

So in the past children who suffer from this syndrome were just not recognised?
Seems hard to believe.
Or is there some other factor in play?
Environmental, diet etc | |

Why does it seem hard to believe? Medical advances and scientific progress means that many illnesses that were unknown and unrecognised now seem prevalent by comparison. Not so long ago bipolar sufferers would have been locked away in asylums. | |

They were recognised, just often in the past they were mis-diagnosed under a general banner of mental retardation/handicapped. It hasn't been long where people have labelled it, and takes a time for people to be given a full diagnosis. | |
