Autism assessment
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects social communication, behaviour, and sensory processing. Identifying autism early can lead to better support and interventions that enhance quality of life. Our comprehensive autism assessment provides clarity and guidance for individuals and families seeking answers.
We conduct NICE guidelines compliant autism assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Everyone is welcome!
How to identify autism
Autism presents differently in each individual, but common signs include:
Difficulty with social interactions and communication
Repetitive behaviours or restricted interests
Strong sensory sensitivities (e.g., sensitivity to lights, sounds, or textures)
Challenges in understanding social cues and emotions
Strong need for routine and predictability
If you or your child experience these signs, an assessment may provide helpful insights and access to support services.
