ASD is a neurodevelopmental difference and can fall into the category of ‘neurodiversity’, a term used to consider the natural differences in brain functioning in the human population. It affects how people interact with others, communicate, and learn.
In the UK, it is estimated that around 1 in 100 people are on the autism spectrum, representing more than 700,000 people nationwide, according to the National Autistic Society.
Our Adult Autism (ASD) Assessment provides a clear autism diagnosis, along with personalised feedback and practical advice on the next steps for therapy and support.
For adults seeking an ASD assessment, we can help shed some light on an individual’s difficulties, provide them with a deeper understanding of themselves and can be a step towards moving forward in life in a positive way.
