Autism Assessments
Our expertly conducted autism assessments help you gain clarity, insight and understanding of your experience.
We specialise in providing thorough assessments and diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder in adolescents and adults. With expertise in late diagnosis, masking tendencies and 'female' presentations, we are sensitive and neuroaffirmative in our approach.
We use evidence-based and gold standard assessment tools. Our Practitioner Psychologists are fully trained, certified and experienced in using the ADOS and ADI-R. We also follow the MIGDAS interview, which is useful for high-masking presentations.
Our assessments align with NICE, NHS and SIGN guidelines, and we use gold standard assessments. All assessments are delivered by HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologists.
We can offer this online or via a hybrid approach of online and in person (depending on availability). Please get in touch for more information on the contact form below.

Initial Assessment
After the initial deposit is paid, we will invite you to complete a series of questionnaires about your personal information, medical history, family history, your wellbeing and the difficulties you're experiencing. This will be completed in your own time.
02
Developmental History Appointment
At this appointment, we will record information from someone who has known you for a while regarding your personal development from childhood to adulthood. We will use the ADI-R at this appointment to conduct our assessment.
This usually takes 2-3 hours to complete.

Clinical Appointments
In this appointments, we will use the ADOS-2/BOSA and MIGDAS to explore your experiences. This involves structured activities and observations to assess behaviour, alongside social and communicative skills. This can be conducted online or via hybrid options.
These appointments take around 1.5 hours each.
04
Outcome Session
Our expertly trained Practitioner Psychologists will meet to review evidence, findings, and make an informed decision on the diagnostic outcome. You will then be invited to a feedback session lasting up to 30 minutes. We will discuss the outcome of the assessment, and recommendations.

Diagnostic Report
After the feedback session, you will receive the diagnostic outcome letter (within 24 hours). This can be used as proof of diagnosis (if recieved). Your final report up to 4 weeks after your final appointment.
The final report will detail our findings, diagnostic outcome, your presentation, strengths, challenges, and recommendations for support and adjustments.
