A report by experts at University College London found a disturbing degree of variation in autism assessment centers in the NHS, which is now being investigated by the health service. It comes as some experts are growing worried about whether there is an overdiagnose of the condition due to the way murky the diagnostic criteria are. Autism diagnosis has risen over the past two decades, with a number of British people being told they have the condition later in life. These include celebrities like Melanie Sykes (left), Chris Packham (centre), and Christine McGuinness (right).
