Autism
Each assessment is tailored to the person’s age, developmental history, and communication style, and may include:
A detailed clinical interview exploring developmental, social, and emotional history
Questionnaires and standardised measures completed by the individual, family members, caregivers, or teachers
Collaboration with family members, educators, or other professionals involved in the person’s life
Our clinicians ensure the process feels safe, transparent, and respectful. We take time to understand the person’s lived experience, sensory profile, and the ways they may have adapted or masked their differences in various environments.
Our approach is neuroaffirming and trauma-informed, recognising that Autism is a form of neurodiversity rather than a disorder to be cured. We acknowledge the wide range of ways that autistic traits can appear across individuals and the influence of gender, culture, personality, environment, and life experiences on how these traits are expressed.
We also consider co-occurring factors that may impact daily life, such as anxiety, depression, attention regulation, or trauma history. This ensures that the assessment provides a complete picture and supports appropriate recommendations and referrals.
