3 years of being on the waiting list (May of 2018)... I finally broke down and cried to them on the phone about how bad my child needs services back in June... they gave me an appointment right then and there for today.... then called me this morning to tell me that there was a mistake in scheduling on their end and had to cancel our appointment and that the next available appointment was in 2 months.. I am disgusted with this place. In addition if you look at the other reviews... there is one where the family was only on the waiting list for 13 months... back in 2019... why were they able to get in before us? Their waiting list is a joke and the company is a joke.

Be patient people! It takes almost a year and a half to get your child diagnosed. There are long waiting list. They have helped me and my kids figure out what steps to take next. Until then I suggest you keep doing the best you can with your children. BE THERE. Start therapy asap. I know it can be frustrating, but nothing comes out from bashing the autism center online. They are doing their best to help us.

Said the wait is over two years just to be diagnosed and two years for treatment. Were actually rude to me as well and said there are thousands of other family’s seeking help. We’ll why isn’t more being done then if it’s obviously such a need. I’m so frustrated with any care for autism being an afterthought. Do better!!!!

PARENTS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR AN APPOINTMENT, call and make sure you are on the cancellation list. We were expecting an appointment sometime in September 2019(got on wait list August 2018 but they have a 13 month waitlist), but because I was on the cancellation list, a spot opened up in early June 2019. Get your child a referral and into Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and whatever else they made need in the meantime. We waited a year for OT and ST as well. Be proactive and the wait really won't seem so bad in the long run.

So unfortunately my wonderful perfect grandson needs a little help. We have been waiting forever to get here. Today I showed up with my 8 year old grandson, who was masked, and I answered the security person's honestly and said that my grandson had a little sniffle due to swimming and the dogs, but COVID-19 test was negative and no fever. They sent us away. Even though I was crying and trying to explain how long we had waited and how important this was. So very disappointed you would do this to a child in need.

My experience with Seattle Autism Center has been very good overall. I have been taking my son there for ~ 7 years. They are kind, and understanding. The wait time is very long there, but that is to be expected for anything with autism related therapies.

My daughter has been a patient of several therapists and physicians at Seattle Children's Autism Center for over five years. One therapist diligently worked to help her walk which she does now independently. The wait to be seen seemed long initially, but call often and ask for cancellations. Once we were seen, regular appointments are easy to set. Our city needs more centers like this one to meet the wealth of needs in our community.

These nurses are great at their job and I don’t want to say job because they really care about your child’s needs and they listen and help you understand your child’s needs, when my son was diagnosed they told me his actions before I could share my experience with them and I just cried because this is so new to me they helped me with classes and everything thank you ms Karen she is the best nurse for my son. The only back thing she just stay so booked out but when your great like her I guess that’s what happens, I drive a hour and half to see her.

My son is now 15 we’ve been waiting since he’s been five years old for a screening. Will be willing to change my review when my son is able to get a fair shot at a screening.

They Help my 5 years old Autistic Best ❤️❤️❤️

Great staff, very understanding and so patient with the children that go there as well as well as the families at least in our experience I am so happy my niece got to attend their ABA program it is so helpful and such a great way to get any child support and care.

Since finding out over a year ago that my son is Autistic, they have been really good about doing what they can to help us out. When things have gotten tough, they have done what they can to touch bases with us as soon as possible.

If you want an outdated list of resources that are unvetted from providers who have never lived in your shoes-this is the place to go.

Took me almost 2 years to get a diagnosis for my son. And afterwards I am still waiting for them to call me back for an appointment for therapy for my son. This is unacceptable.

You wait for years, and there are no services they provide. Just use their website as a resource.
