Initial assessment (‘Triage’)
View through CrossRef
Chapter 6 considers ways of determining if and when a detailed diagnostic assessment is necessary, what are the benefits and risks for the patient, including considering their viewpoint? If autism is obvious at a first short meeting, one might ask why delay diagnosis any further? With regard to decisions to seek a detailed assessment, what is the value of a diagnosis? What motivates people to seek diagnosis? Are there alternative ways of addressing their problems? What ethical issues are there? How does consent come in to play, particularly in relation to the involvement of other as informants? Questions for the patient (more closed than open-ended) are considered, including selecting those questions designed to determine if more detailed assessment is needed. Questions for parents and non-parental carers are also discussed including asking what is the value of lifelong informants? Finally, how does one decide on next steps (discharge or full assessment)?
