Signs Your Child May Benefit from an Autism Assessment

Every autistic child is unique. Some children show clear signs from an early age, while others develop strategies that make their differences less obvious.

Parents may seek an assessment if their child:

  • Finds social interaction confusing or exhausting.
  • Has intense interests or hobbies.
  • Prefers routine and finds change difficult.
  • Experiences sensory sensitivities.
  • Finds friendships challenging.
  • Appears anxious or overwhelmed in busy environments.
  • Has differences in communication.
  • Experiences emotional overwhelm or burnout following school.

An assessment helps build a better understanding of your child's profile and whether autism best explains their experiences.

How Long Does the Assessment Take?

 

Following receipt of all required information, we aim to complete assessments within approximately four weeks.

Families receive:

  • A comprehensive diagnostic assessment following NICE guidelines involving a multi-disciplinary team
  • A detailed written report.
  • Practical recommendations.
  • Advice regarding appropriate next steps and available support.
