Autism Unpicked

• What they offer / teach

  Privately funded Autism and ADHD assessments (including combined Autism and ADHD assessments) for children, young people and adults, carried out in person in Sheffield, Ecclesall (S11) and Derbyshire, with online assessment possible for adults. They also offer post-diagnostic support, parent support or therapy, and supervision, training and consultations for clinicians, schools, workplaces and businesses. A free 15-minute initial telephone consultation is offered and there are no waiting times for assessment, though post-diagnostic support may have a wait.

• Ages served

  Assessments begin for children aged 6+, with child and adolescent assessments for ages 6-17 and adult assessments for ages 18+. Therapeutic/family support, post-diagnostic support and professional consultation, training and supervision are offered for all ages.

• Approach

  Assessments are neuroaffirming and completed in line with NICE guidelines, based on the team's established NHS practice, and delivered by qualified Clinical Psychologists and Speech and Language Therapists registered with the HCPC. They aim to 'unpick' an individual's unique profile of strengths and needs in a person-centred, collaborative way, with specialist experience in how neurodivergence can present more subtly, including in women and girls. Reports may use diagnostic terms such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (from DSM-V) for clarity in accessing support, while aiming to be balanced and neuro-affirming and to use the person's own language preferences.

• Admissions

  People are invited to get in touch via the contact form or a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation, after which screening begins immediately with no waiting times. Children and young people must travel to one of the Sheffield or Derbyshire clinic locations for at least one in-person element of assessment; adults may be seen in person or online nationwide. Post-diagnostic support is offered on a case-by-case basis according to demand.

• Cost

  The page states assessments are privately funded and that the initial 15-minute telephone consultation is free, but no fees or prices are given.
