  Private autism assessments for adults and children, plus combined autism and ADHD assessments, delivered by a multidisciplinary team including clinical psychologists, a nurse consultant and speech and language therapists. Services include free autism screening before any payment, gold-standard diagnostic tools such as ADOS-2 where appropriate, detailed reports with recommendations, and a post-diagnosis feedback meeting with guidance. Assessments are available online (age 10+) or in person at clinics across England and Wales, with support from clinical assessment coordinators.

• Ages served

  Autism assessments are completed for adults and children aged 2 years (24 months) and over; combined autism and ADHD assessments are for adults and children aged 6 years and over. Online assessments are available for those aged 10 and over, while children under 10 must be seen in person. No maximum age is stated.

• Approach

  Assessments are described as NICE-compliant, following gold standard UK diagnostic criteria and national guidelines, completed by experienced, appropriately registered clinicians (HCPC, NMC, etc.) using recognised diagnostic tools and a multidisciplinary review process. The page describes a respectful, neuro-affirming, compassionate approach with clear communication throughout, and states resulting diagnoses are accepted by the NHS when in line with national standards.

• Admissions

  Clients can self-refer directly with no GP referral required, and the team offers free, confidential autism screening plus a free online screening test to advise whether an assessment is needed. There is no waiting list, with a first appointment typically within 2-3 weeks of commissioning the assessment.

• Cost

  An autism assessment costs from £1,995 to £2,095. A combined autism and ADHD assessment costs between £2,995 and £3,095, depending on whether a fully online or in-person assessment is chosen; initial screening is free before any payment.
