Why Get a Private Autism Assessment?

Demand for adult autism assessment has grown sharply across the UK, and NHS waiting lists in many areas now stretch well beyond a year — in some cases several years. If understanding yourself, or getting the right support at work or in daily life matters to you now, a private assessment gives you clarity much sooner.

You can self-refer — no GP letter required — and be assessed by a clinician experienced in adult autism, with a written report you can share with your NHS GP, employer or university.

NHS vs Private

Right to Choose vs Going Private

NHS Right to Choose
Can be free, but demand for autism assessment via RtC providers is extremely high — waits can run well over a year, and availability depends on your area and your GP agreeing the referral.
Going Private
A fixed, much shorter timescale, a named clinician, and a structured feedback appointment to help you process the diagnosis and plan next steps.

We're happy to explain both routes honestly so you can choose what's right for you.

How the Assessment Works

A respectful, structured process — from your first step to a clear outcome and practical next steps.

1

Free Self-Check

Start with our short screening questionnaire to see whether a full assessment is likely to help. Quick, private, no commitment.

2

Pre-Assessment History

Secure online forms covering developmental history, current difficulties and strengths, completed before your appointment.

3

Structured Assessment

An in-depth clinical interview exploring social communication, sensory experiences and routines, with collateral information gathered where appropriate.

4

Report & Feedback

A clear outcome, a full written report within 3–4 weeks, and a dedicated feedback appointment to talk through what it means.

A Joined-Up Pathway, Coordinated for You

An assessment won't change who you are — but it can explain why things feel the way they do, and help unlock support in education, work and daily life. We coordinate the whole pathway so it feels simple, not fragmented.

Where needed, we involve other clinicians with specific expertise in autism as part of the assessment and support process, and we manage that coordination for you.

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

Autistic adults often describe long-standing patterns that make certain situations feel much harder than they seem to for others. If these resonate, our free self-check below is a good first step.

Differences in social interaction Strong routines or resistance to change Sensory sensitivities Difficulty with small talk Intense, focused interests Finding social situations exhausting Preferring clear, direct communication

Not a diagnosis — a useful first step to see if a full assessment makes sense.

A self-check is a guide, not a diagnosis. Only a full clinical assessment by a qualified clinician can confirm autism.
