Clear, Compassionate Autism Assessments for Children and Adults
Professional autism assessments designed to be calm, clear, and supportive for children and adults.
Understanding the Assessment
What Is an Autism Assessment?
An autism assessment is a structured clinical process that explores how someone communicates, interacts, and experiences the world. Our assessments are designed to identify autistic traits while respecting individuality and neurodiversity.
We assess children (2 1/2 years) and adults, adapting our approach to suit age, communication style, and sensory needs.
What Our Autism Assessment Includes
✔ Comprehensive clinical assessment
✔ ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Second Edition)
✔ Structured developmental and clinical interviews
✔ Review of background information and questionnaires
✔ Detailed written diagnostic report
✔ Clear recommendations and next steps
✔ Feedback session with a clinician.
✔ All assessments follow NICE-recognised guidelines.
Who Is This Assessment For?
This assessment may be appropriate if you or your child:
‣ Struggle with social communication or interaction
‣ Experience sensory sensitivities or sensory overload
‣ Prefer routines and find change difficult
‣ Mask or camouflage behaviours (common in girls and adults)
‣ Feel “different” but don’t know why
‣ Need formal diagnosis for school, work, or personal understanding
