Why Consider an Adult ASD Assessment?

Many individuals with ASD remain undiagnosed until adulthood, which can lead to challenges in various areas of their lives. By seeking an adult ASD assessment, you can gain a better understanding of your strengths, challenges, and unique needs.

1. Self-awareness and personal growth

An ASD assessment provides valuable insights into your cognitive abilities, social interactions, and communication skills. It can help you understand your preferences, strengths, and areas that may require additional support, leading to personal growth and self-acceptance.

2. Access to tailored support

A formal ASD diagnosis allows you to access specific resources, services, and accommodations that can enhance your well-being and quality of life. This may include therapy options, support groups, workplace accommodations, and educational services.

3. Improved relationships

Understanding your ASD diagnosis can significantly improve your relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. It promotes empathy, communication, and fosters healthier connections with those around you.

Why is it Helpful to Have a ASD Diagnosis?

Our Adult ASD Assessment Process

At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive and personalised assessment process to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective individualistic treatment recommendations. Here’s an overview of our assessment process which takes place over an 8-week period:

1. Initial Assessment

The first step is an initial assessment with one of our experienced psychiatrists. During this session, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, experiences, and get to know you, as well as performing a mental health screening.

2. Neurodevelopmental Screening

To evaluate your neurodevelopmental profile, our team utilizes a combination of validated assessment tools, interviews, and questionnaires. These tools cover various domains, including cognitive abilities, social functioning, communication skills, and sensory processing. The second appointment will be a neurodevelopmental screening, after assessing all relevant questionnaires, to explore your history.

3. ADOS Assessment

We believe in a multidisciplinary approach to your assessment to verify and ensure there is no stone unturned in completing your assessment. During our ADOS portion of the Adult ASD Assessment our clinical nurse specialist, and neurodevelopmental therapist will assess the patient’s social communication in a face-to-face scenario-based assessment.

4. Diagnostic Feedback

Following the assessment, the last appointment will be a feedback session. You will receive a detailed report summarizing the findings and diagnostic impressions. In a subsequent feedback session, our psychiatrist will discuss the results with you, answer any questions you may have, and provide treatment recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
