ADHD and Autism

Definition/Description

The CCG, with the North Yorkshire CCG Clinical Lead has agreed with The Retreat to remove the requirement for the AQ10 self-report and scores on referral for an adult autism assessment. Data and clinical evidence indicate the AQ10 scores do not significantly predict receipt of a diagnosis and now show it is of limited value. The Retreat continue to use the full AQ along with other clinical information during the actual assessment process
