“After years on an NHS waiting list, it was a huge relief to know our son’s assessment could be completed within a couple of months. The initial consultation was excellent – clear, supportive and reassuring. We feel confident we’re in good hands.”

Is this the right route for your child?
A private autism assessment may be helpful if your child:
- Finds social situations confusing, tiring or overwhelming
- Has sensory sensitivities (sound, light, clothing, food or busy environments)
- Relies strongly on routines and predictability
- Becomes distressed by change or uncertainty
- Experiences anxiety, shutdowns, meltdowns or burnout linked to everyday demands
These signs don’t automatically mean your child is autistic. A free consultation helps you understand whether a full assessment is the right next step.
