Who We Are
Autism and ADHD Identification
Virtual autism and ADHD identification (assessment) for people living anywhere in the UK and Ireland and in-person appointments in Devon. We welcome adults and children aged 7 and above.
We follow the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) throughout the process, ensuring that our assessments are thorough, evidence-based, and rooted in best clinical practice.
Established in 2021, The Autism Clinic were the first service in the UK to be fully neuroaffirmative. We've stayed true to our principles ever since, recognising and celebrating neurodivergence throughout every stage of the process. We don't use the medical model of neurodivergence or deficit-based language. Instead, we support our clients to explore their own unique profile of strengths and differences, always honouring and affirming your lived experience.
Female and non-standard autism
Women and girls are often missed or misdiagnosed. We are experts at recognising and diagnosing female and non-standard presentation autism in adults and children
Celebrating Neurodiversity
We are committed to identifying and celebrating the strengths of neurodivergent people everywhere. Many of our clinicians are neurodivergent and all are committed to improving outcomes for neurodivergent people by offering a compassionate high-quality and professional service. Our assessments are flexible, meaning that we may use formal assessment tools, interviews or a combination of both, depending on the client and their individual needs. You will receive a clinical report and a strengths-based report after your assessment, which will help you to reframe your life with a new understanding of yourself.
Multi-disciplinary Assessment
Our assessments are offered by experienced HCPC registered professionals and delivered by a multi-disciplinary team with a minimum of two clinicians. Assessment of children includes a young person's interview and developmental history and is specific to the individual needs of your child. Adult assessments are based around a collaborative discussion and can include a family member or friend for support. We can offer a number of additional assessments including speech and language and occupational therapy at your request.
Recommendations for Therapy
We can offer reports and recommendations for education and other services. We can also offer reports and recommendations for therapy, including speech and language and occupational therapy. We have links with local services and clinicians and can offer signposting and referrals
