Gold Standard, NICE Compliant Autism Assessments for Children, Young People and Adults

We Offer Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) Assessments to children, young people and adults

The tools used in the assessment are evidence-based. The assessment process is in keeping with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

Typically, this involves gathering background information, clinical interview (using Autism diagnostic interview [ADIr] where appropriate), questionnaire data, information from other sources (school, university) and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). The assessment varies depending on the age of the individual being assessed and their personal circumstances.

The assessment is carried out by clinicians accredited in the administration and interpretation of the assessment tools used. ASC is diagnosed in accordance with DSM V and ICD 11 criteria.

All Practitioners at Brighton Consulting rooms work independently and are responsible for ensuring they are insured and, where applicable, are members of approved professional bodies.
