Jo Condon Autism Assessments

• What they offer / teach

  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. Assessments use recognised diagnostic tools including ADOS-2 where appropriate, and include a detailed report with clear recommendations, a post-diagnosis feedback meeting and guidance, and a supportive assessment coordinator throughout. Free autism screening and a free online autism test are offered before any payment, alongside articles and resources on autism signs, diagnosis and next steps.

• 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. Fully online assessments are available for those aged 10 and over; children under 10 must be seen in person.

• Approach

  Assessments are described as NICE-compliant, following gold-standard UK diagnostic criteria and national guidelines, completed by experienced, appropriately registered clinicians (HCPC, NMC) using a multidisciplinary review process. The service describes itself as respectful and neuro-affirming, with a clear, compassionate process and responsive communication. Reports are said to be accepted by the NHS and Local Authorities.

• Admissions

  Clients can self-refer directly with no GP referral required, and the team offers free confidential autism screening 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. In-person assessments are available at clinics across England and Wales (including Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Sheffield, York and others), with online options also available.

• Cost

  An autism assessment costs between £1995 and £2095. A combined autism and ADHD assessment costs between £2995 and £3095, depending on whether the fully online or in-person option is chosen. Initial autism screening is free before any payment.
