Adult autism assessment

Dr Isobel Robb and her team provide high quality diagnostic assessments.

All our assessments are NICE compliant and are recognised by the NHS, colleges and other organisations.

Our adult autism assessments are led by one of our clinical psychologists. You will first of all be asked to complete some questionnaires at home. On the assessment day we will meet with you and ask you about your childhood including family background, schooling, and early medical history. We will find out about your lived experience, and your current strengths, differences and challenges. We will explore whether your experiences fit with the diagnostic criteria for autism, as set out in the DSM-5. 

We will consider the assessment outcome immediately after we have met with you and we will then feedback the outcome to you as soon as we can. This will either be on the day of the assessment or as soon as we can afterwards. 

Our detailed diagnostic report will be sent to you securely via email and you will be offered a follow up session as part of the assessment process. Recommendations and support suggestions are provided in our report regardless of the diagnostic outcome, tailored to fit your profile of individual needs,
