Autism Assessment for Women

At Neuroaffinity, we offer autism assessments for adult women across the UK.

If you’ve ever felt different, misunderstood, or struggled to connect in ways others find easy, you may be wondering whether autism plays a role.

Our expert clinicians are here to provide clarity, support, and understanding through our tailored autism assessments for women.

Why Choose an Autism Assessment for Women?

Autism often presents differently in women than it does in men. Many women go undiagnosed for years, masking traits or being misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or borderline personality disorder.

Choosing a private women’s autism assessment allows you to bypass long NHS waiting times and receive an accurate diagnosis from clinicians who specialise in recognising the unique presentation of autism in adult women.

There are many reasons why you might seek an autism diagnosis. Some may be deeply personal or unexpected. Whatever your reason, your experiences are valid, and you deserve clarity and support.

What’s Included in an Autism Assessment for Women?

Our adult autism assessments follow a compassionate and neurodiversity-affirming process designed to provide you with meaningful answers and personalised support:

The Autism Assessment Process Includes Several Steps

Initial Screening

A detailed pre-assessment questionnaire exploring your developmental history, sensory experiences, social communication, and emotional well-being.

Additional Background Information

Additional details may be gathered from family members or partners to gain a complete understanding of your symptoms.

Clinical Interview

A 1:1 structured diagnostic interview with a qualified psychologist trained in adult female autism presentation. You may choose to include someone who knows you well in the process (this is optional, but often recommended).

Diagnostic Evaluation

Use of gold-standard tools, including the ADOS-2 or equivalent, tailored to adult female profiles and lived experiences.

Full Diagnostic Report

A professionally written, easy-to-understand report outlining findings, diagnosis (if applicable), and personalised recommendations.

Are You Experiencing Signs of Autism as a Woman?

Autism in women often presents subtly or differently than stereotypical male traits. You may benefit from an assessment if you:

– Feel emotionally or socially exhausted after interactions
– Have a history of anxiety, depression, or misdiagnosis
– Find social rules confusing or exhausting to navigate
– Mask your true self in order to fit in
– Are highly empathetic but struggle with sensory overload
– Have intense interests or routines that bring comfort and order
– Have struggled with identity, relationships, or burnout

If you resonate with these experiences, a formal autism assessment for adult women could offer the validation and guidance you’ve been seeking. Or, check out our quick and free online autism test here.

FAQs

How is autism different in women than in men?

Autism in women often presents more subtly. Many women learn to mask their traits, leading to late or missed diagnoses. Common signs include social exhaustion, people-pleasing, deep empathy, and internal struggles with anxiety or identity.

Is the assessment suitable if I have other diagnoses like ADHD or anxiety?

Yes. Many women seeking autism assessments also have co-occurring conditions. Our clinicians are experienced in identifying overlapping or misdiagnosed traits.

Can I complete the assessment online?

Yes. We offer fully online autism assessments for women via secure video calls. This offers convenience and accessibility without compromising clinical standards.

Is the diagnosis recognised by the NHS or the workplace?

Yes. All assessments follow NICE guidelines and are conducted by registered psychologists. Your diagnostic report can be used to access workplace accommodations, academic support, and NHS referrals.

How long does the process take?

From booking to receiving your diagnostic report, the process typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on appointment availability.

What happens if I’m not diagnosed with autism?

You’ll still receive a full clinical report and personalised recommendations. We can also explore other explanations for your experiences and help direct you to the right support.
