What to expect at assessment:

A comprehensive adult ASD assessment will include:

A clinical interview

This will involve being asked questions about your developmental history when you were a child and how you perceive your current presentation. You will also be asked to complete ASD screening questionnaires.

ADOS-2 assessment

This is a specialist ‘gold standard’ diagnostic assessment carried out individually with you to consider your presentation against the criteria for an ASD diagnosis.

Multi-disciplinary clinical discussion

Once all the information has been gathered relevant to your ASD assessment, it will evaluated with a consulting clinician who also specialises in this area to consider if a final ASD diagnosis is appropriate.

Comprehensive report and feedback

A full detailed report will then be written summarising the information gathered and the diagnostic outcome of the assessment. This will also include recommendations and helpful sources.
