Autism assessments for children and young people
It can be hard not knowing how best to help a child who may be autistic. An autism assessment may help a child who:
finds it difficult to connect with others
finds it difficult to communicate in ways others expect
gets upset with change or disruption to their routine
gets overwhelmed by everyday situations
gets easily overwhelmed by noise, touch, etc
finds it hard to play with others or express themselves
school or nursery have suggested an autism assessment
Our clinicians help you understand your child better, so you can get them the right support at home and at school.
Autism assessments for adults
An autism assessment can give adults self-understanding, education and access to support that helps them in day-to-day life. Autism assessment may be right for you if:
you’ve started to wonder if autism might explain parts of your experience
you find social situations, communication or relationships difficult or draining
you find change or disruption to routine upsetting
you can easily feel overwhelmed by noise or other sensory input
you recognise yourself in stories or content from autistic adults
someone you know has been diagnosed and it's made you reflect on similarities in your experience
you want a clear answer on whether you have autism and a better understanding of yourself
