Summary of report content

This report was written by Healthwatch Bradford and District following feedback gathered over time on Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC). User stories were gathered in response to previous comments about ASC services.

The report was published January, 2017. The user stories are presented as case studies.

Overall sentiment was negative. People were struggling to get timely assessments for their children, for some this was causing difficulties in school and at home.

No recommendations are made. No response from providers is attached, though this project does not engage with a single provider of services.
