A short, guided walkthrough of what happens after an autism diagnosis -- built to move through quickly, not read start to finish in one sitting. 8 steps, come back any time.
This pathway covers England only. Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments and EHCPs are an England-specific legal mechanism. Scotland uses Co-ordinated Support Plans, and Wales uses Individual Development Plans, under different systems and rules -- this pathway won't be accurate for those.
