Could These Be Autistic Traits?
Autism assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of strengths and needs to support diagnostic understanding. Assessments involve gathering detailed developmental history, observation and standardised assessment tools where appropriate.
The assessment process aims to provide clarity, understanding and guidance around next steps, including recommendations for support or intervention.
Autism assessments are carried out in a supportive and respectful way, recognising individual differences and focusing on understanding the person as a whole.
Struggling to get answers about autism?
Long NHS wait times can leave families in limbo for months, even years. Meanwhile, the need for support grows, and misunderstandings in school, at work, or home can cause frustration, isolation,
or even anxiety.
Without a formal diagnosis, access to the right help can be delayed.
You or your family member deserves to be understood, supported, and given every chance to thrive - starting now.
At The Muir Practice, we provide fast, formal autism assessments for children, teens, and adults. From the age of three upwards, and with no waiting list.
You’ll be supported by expert clinicians who specialise in autism, all of whom are trained in NHS Neurodevelopmental Assessments, and receive the gold-standard ADOS-2 assessment, combined
with a comprehensive diagnostic process tailored to each individual.
