Private ASD or autism diagnostic screening tests Sussex

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that can affect how a child or adult relates to the world around them. We can complete accurate and detailed autism assessments so you can gain a greater understanding of an individual’s strengths and needs.

Whilst many people do not like to think of ‘labels’, there are many advantages to getting a diagnosis. This includes greater understanding so you can seek out the right support, and access relevant educational provisions or support, and it can help you or your child make more sense of the world.

We put a multi-disciplinary perspective at the heart of our work and complete each assessment using detailed questionnaires, online interviews, a face-to-face diagnostic assessment, and other tools.

If there are demand avoidant patterns, we can include a Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) assessment and include this within any autism report.

Child autism assessments

We offer NICE guidelines-compliant ASD assessments for children. This will be able to tell you if your child does or does not have autism. Our final reports include recommendations on education, health, and social care needs for your school and GP.

Adult autism assessments

We support adults of all ages to help them understand if autism is why they see the world differently. The screening follows several stages, including written, video, and face-to-face assessments.

ADHD assessments for children Sussex

If your child is inattentive, impulsive, or hyperactive, you may concerned about Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD). We offer complete ADHD testing and evaluation.

We will gather as much information as possible about the child’s development from parents, carers, and school. We will then meet with the child for a face-to-face observational assessment. We will complete a QB check, a computer-based test which measures the three core symptoms of ADHD.

You will receive a detailed report outlining the diagnostic outcome and recommendations after any assessment. This will be followed up with a feedback appointment, and we will signpost further support and clinical help if needed.

Autism in girls Sussex

Autistic symptoms in women and girls differ from those seen in men. Historically, health providers and caregivers have overlooked autism in girls because they do not show the ‘typical’ autistic traits. This is thought to be because research focused largely on boys.

We have a lot of experience diagnosing women and girls and will ask extra questions during the interview and ADOS assessment stages to gain a clearer picture.
