The Autism Service - Bristol

• What they offer / teach

  The Autism Service provides in-person autism assessments, ADHD assessments and combined autism & ADHD assessments for both children and adults, plus free online screening tests (child and adult ASD/ADHD tests) and ADHD medication support. It also runs a Child Hub and Adult Hub with guidance and resources, an FAQ section, a knowledge base and a news section on autism, ADHD and their impact on families.

• Ages served

  The page states that assessments and support are offered for both children and adults, with separate child and adult services and hubs, but no specific age range or age limits are given.

• Approach

  The service describes itself as clinician-led and believes autism and ADHD assessments should always be carried out in person and to a high standard. Assessments are delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals from psychology, psychiatry, nursing, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy, each regulated by an independent body, so that diagnoses are recognised by other agencies.

• Admissions

  There is no referral requirement described; families use the online search tool to find their nearest of over 40 UK clinics (filtering by assessment type), submit a booking request via an online form with contact details and background information, and then an administrator contacts them to discuss assessment needs and schedule appointments. The site states appointments are available within four weeks.

• Cost

  The page does not state any prices; it only mentions that payment is taken when an administrator contacts you to schedule appointments, and that this is a private (non-NHS) service.
