If you’ve always felt “different,” struggled with social interactions, sensory overload, or maintaining routines and relationships, you may be wondering if autism could be the reason. An assessment for autism can offer important validation and a clearer understanding of yourself, your needs, and your strengths. The journey starts by understanding more about you.

We provide compassionate, evidence-based adult assessments for autism designed to bring clarity and support, no matter where you are in life.

Different diagnostic tools can be used as part of the assessment process. We use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R) for autism assessments. We are informed by a range of pre-assessment questionnaires. We look at the whole of you, your past experiences and what your significant others say about you. Feedback and assessment report is provided to you within a week from assessment. All online sessions are conducted via a secure video platform and uphold the same high clinical standards as face-to-face services.

Initial Screening

You’ll complete rating scales and questionnaires to evaluate autism symptoms and their impact. An assessment fee is charged only if you pass this initial screening.

Additional Background Information

Additional details may be gathered from family members or partners to gain a complete understanding of your symptoms.

Clinical Interview

A specialist autism clinician will conduct a clinical assessment through a face-to-face consultation or via a video conference, which will last between 60 and 90 minutes. For adults, it is beneficial if a family member who has known them since childhood can be present during this assessment.

Observational assessment

A second face-to-face or video conference will be conducted, during which our specialists will observe how you interact in various settings. They will assess important aspects of communication, social skills, and repetitive behaviours. This evaluation may involve assessment tools like the ADOS-2 and can last up to 90 minutes.

Diagnostic Decision and Feedback

Based on the gathered information, a diagnostic decision will be made according to the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). This will be done at a separate feedback appointment.

Receive Your Report

Within 7 working days of your autism feedback appointment, you will receive a written report by email. This report will include the clinical diagnosis and, if applicable, a proposed treatment plan.
