What We Do

At Autism Doctor, we offer Neuroaffirmative assessment, diagnosis and management advice for a variety of Neurodevelopmental conditions in children, including

Autism

ADHD

Developmental Delay

Dyspraxia

Learning Difficulties

Neuroaffirmative means acknowledging that all individuals have different abilities and how they interact with the world around them. The differences are not considered wrong and need to be “fixed”.

Rather, we believe that Neurodiversity is a natural form of human diversity.

Our autism specialist team can diagnose Autism in girls and children who can be good at masking symptoms.

We can also assess for Emotional Dysregulation often presenting as Demand Avoidance in Autism.

All our assessments are based on recommended standards or national guidelines, such as the National Institute of

Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

We follow the Diagnostic Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) TR / ICD -11, which is a book on international diagnostic standards

to consider a diagnosis

Our services are for children and young people from 0 to 16 years

Book The Right Assessment

There are different types of assessments offered at Autism Doctor to include a wide variety of childhood Neurodevelopmental conditions.

Each assessment is individualised to suit your child's needs.

Initial Assessment

The initial assessment offers a great start to your child's assessment process. It allows you to explain your child's needs and allows the professional to formulate a clinical opinion and guide you on the best next step(s).

Most parents find this helpful when there is lack of clarity regarding possible diagnoses.

Autism Assessment

We assess for Autism which has been previously described as Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Condition and High Functioning Autism using standardised tools.

Each assessment is individualised to the needs of your child.

Most children will be offered an assessment by two or more clinicians.

Our approach is Neuroaffirmative.

Other Assessments

Other assessments for neurodevelopmental conditions such as:

ADHD ( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
Developmental Delay or Early Developmental Impairment
Dyspraxia
Learning Difficulties or Intellectual Impairment

What People Say

Testimonials

Thank you (and your team) for the kindness you showed N and me. I am not someone who can write reviews as I have a high need for privacy and am not sure how to make a post anonymous, but I will and have already recommended you to friends.

Honestly, you and your team are so personal. I really appreciate that you took the time to call me rather than email me during the process. To some, this might be a small thing, but to a parent with a high level of worry just going through the process of diagnosis, it's a big deal. I don't know many other doctors who would do that, but I am so grateful to you, Roberta and Veronica for the assessment you provided so quickly (over the summer holidays)so I could start the school term and understand whether N was ND. Thank you for all the resources also, I'm reading through.
