Autism Spectrum Disorder is typically diagnosed with a combination of developmental history and assessment of social communication, undertaken face to face before the COVID 19 pandemic. Autism diagnostic services were disrupted entirely due to COVID as traditional forms of assessments, including Autism Diagnostic Interview and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, could not be continued due to social distancing measures and face masks. This disruption resulted in the number of digital solutions being tried to conduct autism assessments. I will review the range of digital health assessment tools, platforms, and pathways used in the UK and internationally. In addition, I will touch on some developments in the use of Machine Learning in autism diagnosis. I will share my experience of digitising the autism pathway in Peterborough Integrated Neurodevelopmental Service. I will provide the policy context in England to find service models to reduce waiting times to diagnosis. Finally, I will share early results from the Autism Diagnosis Pathway study that I am involved in.
