How do autism assessments work?

Every individual is unique and your diagnosis will be too. Here at the Private Therapy Clinic, we use structured yet adaptable methods, we’ll:

  • Use evidence-based tools like checklists, assessments, real-world observations and in-depth interviews
  • Involve family members, teachers or work colleagues to understand your experiences if we need to
  • Provide a detailed and personalised diagnosis report that explains everything
  • Walk you through the results and signpost you to the support services you need

Receiving a diagnosis is just one step. Our goal is to help you feel less vulnerable so you can understand where you’ve been and where you want to go. We offer post diagnostic interventions which can include psychoeducation and emotional support in addition to work focussed on changing patterns of behaviour that make life more difficult.

Our approach to autism

We believe neurodivergence offers a different and valuable perspective on the world. That's why our multidisciplinary team are thorough and approachable. We:

  • Listen to you and the people you’re close to
  • Explore the full picture recognising overlapping or alternative diagnoses if relevant
  • Provide clarity without judging or making assumptions

We take our time to understand who you are, not just the criteria you meet.

Autism characteristics and what to look for

An autism assessment may benefit you if:

  • You strongly benefit from structure and predictability
  • You become fixated on specific activities
  • You are under or over sensitive to textures, sounds, smells, taste and light
  • You struggle with social cues and being able to regulate your emotions
  • You find relationships difficult to navigate

We understand that many people with autism experience co-occurring conditions. Our team of experts have a wealth of experience in working with complexity and assessing individual strengths and needs.
