Adult Autism Assessment in Newport

Private Adult Autism Assessments in Newport and Surrounding Areas

At Autism Insight, we provide comprehensive, neuro-affirming Adult Autism Assessments in Newport and across Gwent and South Wales, supporting individuals who are exploring whether they may be autistic or seeking a formal diagnosis in adulthood.

We also support individuals across nearby areas including Caerphilly, Cwmbran, Pontypool, Cardiff, and the wider South Wales region, as well as offering secure virtual autism assessments across Wales and the UK.

Many autistic adults in Newport reach adulthood without a diagnosis and may have spent years adapting, masking, or experiencing challenges such as burnout, anxiety, social communication difficulties, or sensory sensitivities. Our assessments aim to provide clarity, understanding, and a meaningful neurodevelopmental profile.

We currently have no waiting list, meaning you can access a professional assessment without the lengthy delays often experienced elsewhere.

Adult Autism Assessment Newport

Our Adult Autism Assessments in Newport are grounded in a neuro-affirming, strengths-based approach. We recognise autism as a natural variation in neurodevelopment rather than something to be “treated”.

We focus on understanding your lived experience in depth, including both strengths and challenges, and how these present across daily life, relationships, work, and wellbeing.

We support adults who may be:

  • Exploring autism for the first time

  • Seeking clarity after years of feeling “different”

  • Living in Newport or Gwent and wanting a formal diagnosis

  • Experiencing ongoing social, sensory, or communication differences

  • Already diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or depression and seeking a clearer neurodevelopmental profile

What Our Adult Autism Assessment in Newport Includes

Our assessments follow NICE-informed best practice guidelines for adult autism diagnosis, ensuring a thorough, evidence-based, and person-centred process.

The assessment includes:

  • Detailed developmental history from childhood to present

  • Clinical interview with an experienced clinician

  • Structured diagnostic tools (e.g. ADOS / AdiR / DISCO  where appropriate)

  • Exploration of social communication differences

  • Sensory processing assessment

  • Evaluation of routines, behaviours, and executive functioning

  • Assessment of masking, camouflaging, and coping strategies

  • Consideration of co-occurring conditions (ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma)

  • Differential diagnosis to ensure clinical accuracy

  • Functional impact across work, education, relationships, and daily life
