Adult Autism Assessment Self Referral Information
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication, interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviours or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention.
MPFT, are now providing an assessment service for patients across Shropshire. It will collaborate closely with A4U, which manages the Shropshire Autism Hub, and CVS, which oversees the Telford & Wrekin Autism Hub. Through this partnership, A4U will manage all referrals, maintain the waiting list, and work directly with MPFT to streamline the assessment process and ensure continuity of care for Shropshire based patients.
The Shropshire Autism Hub will serve as the primary point of contact for individuals in Shropshire who are seeking an autism assessment or additional support to understand their autistic identity.
Patients can self-refer for an assessment. Further information and the referral form can be found in the link below: Autism Assessment Service (Adults in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin) :: Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust
