Children are waiting as long as 3 years for an ASD assessment in some parts of Ireland. noteworthy_ie wants to conduct a wide-ranging investigation into the issue, the impacts and the rise in a private industry around ASD - help here:

However, delays in public assessment mean many children wait for months or even years for a diagnosis, with some parents resorting to the High Court to have their children assessed.

The Disability Act 2005 states that the HSE should commence an assessment within three months and it is to be completed without undue delay. But in Cork city, for example, the waiting times for an ASD assessment ranged from 11 to 36 months in 2018.
