 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common disorder. Presentation varies with age and comorbidities and assessment services are often limited with long waiting times. This education session will review the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis and management regarding the Australian Guidelines published in 2018. The role of the GP, Allied Health, Paediatricians and Diagnostic Assessment Services will be discussed in respect to a proposed alternate model including the use of telehealth to provide more timely diagnosis provided closer to home
