Free Initial 20-Minute Phone Consultation
Not sure whether an autism assessment is right for you?
Book a free, no-obligation 20 minute phone call with me to discuss your difficulties, ask questions and explore whether an autism assessment would be appropriate.
What happens in a private adult AUTISM assessment?
My approach to private autism assessment follows the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
Phone consultation
A free 20 minute phone consultation and screening questionnaires to gather information about the difficulties you are experiencing. This helps determine whether a full autism assessment would be most helpful.
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)
The ADOS-2 is a structured, conversational assessment involving a range of tasks designed to explore areas such as social communication, imagination, and understanding of emotions.
This typically lasts around one hour and takes place in one of my offices, your home or online depending on your needs.
Developmental history taking
A detailed developmental history is gathered over the phone with a parent, spouse or someone who has known you since childhood. This typically lasts 2 hours.
Multidisciplinary team meeting
Following the assessment, I will meet with a multidisciplinary team (MDT). Information gathered from the ADOS-2 and developmental history is reviewed, and a joint clinical decision is made regarding whether the diagnostic criteria for autism are met.
Written Diagnostic Report
I will write up the assessment in a report, which will then be emailed to you within 4 weeks from the assessment date.
Optional Feedback Consultation
There is the option to discuss the report and recommendations in a 50 minute feedback consultation.
