A transition service is available to support patients through the move to adult services. Speak to a member of your child’s healthcare team for further information.
Autism (also known as autism spectrum disorder or ASD) is a lifelong condition that affects how people communicate and relate to others and how they process information.
An autistic child or young person may see and understand the world differently to their peers and they may have difficulties with friendships or relationships. They may also have specific and passionate interests, can have unusual reactions to sensory input like smells, sensations or sounds, and they may find change or unfamiliar situations difficult.
The below is a list of the current accepted refers. Please note we do not currently accept referrals from SENCOs, but are looking to do this in the near future.
The members of the assessment team will look at all referrals. If a referral is accepted, we will offer an appointment as soon as possible but unfortunately there is a waiting list. Depending on the pathway your child is waiting on and the impact of Covid, the waiting time will vary. We are always working to reduce waiting times.
Sheffield Children’s Hospital and Sheffield City Council are also working together to contact all families on the waiting list to to have a conversation about the support available to you. If you are interested in the range of support available take a look at this information sheet.
