Autism Assessment Birmingham

At Neuroaffinity, we provide autism assessments near Birmingham, helping you find clarity, understanding, and the support you deserve.

If you’ve often felt out of step with others, found social situations challenging, or experienced sensory sensitivities, our team can help you explore whether autism may be part of your story.

Our HCPC-registered clinicians follow trusted NICE guidelines and use proven assessment methods. We take a neurodiversity-affirming approach, making sure you feel listened to, respected, and supported throughout the process.

Why Choose a Private Autism Assessment?

Many people reach adulthood without an autism diagnosis, often due to long NHS waiting times or because their traits were masked or misunderstood. Some may have been misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or other conditions.

A private autism assessment near Birmingham allows you to:

– Avoid lengthy NHS waiting lists
– Work with psychologists experienced in diagnosing autism in adults and children
– Receive a clear, detailed diagnosis (if applicable)
– Gain practical recommendations to improve daily life and access support

What’s Included in an Autism Assessment?

Our autism assessments near Birmingham follow a structured process designed to be thorough, supportive, and respectful of your needs:

Initial Screening

Complete rating scales and questionnaires to evaluate your traits and how they affect your life. Fees apply only if you progress past this stage.

Additional Background Information

With your consent, we may gather input from family members or partners to build a full picture of your history and behaviours.

Clinical Interview

A one-to-one session (either in person at our Birmingham location or via secure video) lasting 60-90 minutes, covering your developmental history, experiences, and current challenges.

Observational assessment

A second appointment (in person or online) where our clinicians observe communication, social interaction, and behaviours, often using gold-standard tools such as the ADOS-2.

Diagnostic Decision and Feedback

Based on all evidence gathered, we’ll decide whether you meet DSM-5 criteria for autism. This is shared in a dedicated feedback session.

Receive Your Report

Within 7 working days of your feedback appointment, you’ll receive a detailed diagnostic report with recommendations for support and next steps.

Online Autism Assessments Birmingham

You don’t have to attend our clinic to be assessed. We offer fully online autism assessments via secure video consultation, following the same clinical standards as in-person appointments, ideal for those with busy schedules, mobility needs, or sensory sensitivities.

Signs You May Benefit from an Autism Assessment

There are lots of reasons to consider an autism diagnosis, and you might consider an assessment if you:

– Find social situations confusing or exhausting
– Depend heavily on routines and dislike unexpected changes
– Have intense interests or hyperfocus
– Mask your natural behaviours to “fit in”
– Experience misunderstandings in relationships or at work
– Are sensitive to sounds, lights, textures, or other sensory input
– Suspect you’ve been misdiagnosed in the past

Many people begin their journey after relating to autism experiences online or through a loved one’s suggestion. If you’re unsure, you can take our quick online autism test here.

FAQs

How accurate is an online autism assessment?

Our online assessments use the same tools and criteria as in-person appointments and are conducted by experienced clinicians. They’re just as reliable and valid.

Can I have an assessment if I already have another diagnosis?

Yes. Many people with autism have co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or depression. Our clinicians are skilled in identifying overlapping traits.

Will I receive a formal diagnosis?

If you meet DSM-5 criteria, you’ll receive a formal, HCPC-registered diagnosis in your written report.

Can my report be used for workplace or educational support?

Yes. Our reports are accepted for disability accommodations, therapy referrals, and education support plans.

Is this a formal diagnosis?

Yes. Your diagnosis (if given) will be made by an HCPC-registered psychologist using NICE-compliant methods. You’ll receive a full diagnostic report.

How long does the process take?

From booking to feedback, the process usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on availability and complexity.
