Autism Assessment
Clarity Without the Wait - Fast, Compassionate Autism Assessment
Book your free consultation today and speak with experienced autism specialists who can guide your family with care, clarity, and support.
We realise this can be an incredibly emotional and overwhelming experience, however we approach each person sensitively and with the highest level of care and understanding. Everyone is unique.
An autism assessment is the first step towards understanding yourself, enabling others to understand you fully and getting the support you need to live a happy and fulfilling life.
We go beyond diagnosis, offering personalised post-assessment support, therapy, and guidance for individuals, families, and educators.
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.
