Private Autism Assessment Service

Autism diagnostic assessments for adults, teenagers and older children

Based in Bath, this service provides private autism diagnostic assessments for adults, teenagers and children aged 11 and over, using widely recognised gold-standard methods.

Assessments are normally completed within 4-5 weeks,
with a full report and follow-up included.

Many adults and parents seek autism assessment after years of uncertainty, or when concerns cannot be addressed within current NHS waiting times. For some, there has been a long-standing sense that something does not fully make sense, without a clear explanation.

This service provides comprehensive autism diagnostic assessments using recognised gold-standard methods. Assessments are structured and thorough, with time to explore both history and current experience, supporting clear and well-evidenced diagnostic conclusions.

A detailed written diagnostic report is provided, along with a follow-up appointment to explain the outcome and next steps.

The focus throughout is on clarity, transparency and a robust, well-documented assessment process.

No obligation. Simply an opportunity to discuss your situation and whether an assessment would be appropriate.
