Adult Autism
Suspect autism in yourself or a loved one? Our experienced psychiatrists offer comprehensive assessments and personalised support to help you understand and navigate the challenges of autism spectrum disorder.
Is it Autism?
If you are experiencing difficulties with social interaction, communication, or exhibiting repetitive behaviours or restricted interests, it may be worth considering an autism assessment.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals differently, and getting a clear diagnosis is crucial for accessing appropriate support and resources.
At Psychiatrists Direct, we understand the importance of identifying autism without delay and providing individuals and families with the guidance they need to thrive. Our expert team is here to help you navigate the assessment process and provide clarity about your unique situation.
Comprehensive Autism Assessments
Our autism assessments are designed to provide a detailed and accurate evaluation of an individual's strengths and challenges. We follow a rigorous process that includes gathering information from various sources, such as questionnaires, rating scales, and consultations with external observers, as well as in-depth assessments with our experienced consultant psychiatrists.
This comprehensive approach ensures that we develop a thorough understanding of each individual's unique profile, considering factors such as developmental history, cognitive abilities, and social-communication skills.
By gathering this extensive information, we can provide an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalised support plan tailored to your specific needs.
