"[Patient name] has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I recommend the following allied health services to help address the health difficulties above: - Physiotherapist - Speech Therapy - Occupational Therapy - Psychologist / Counselor - Dietician - Behavioural Therapist I also recommend carer support as the patient has a very high level of needs.
