Private Autism Assessments in Stockport – Get timely support

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - Individual Signs and Challenges

Autism affects each person differently, with a wide range of characteristics that can include strengths and challenges. While many traits associated with autism can lead to unique strengths, while some may present difficulties that impact overall well-being and family life.

Getting an accurate diagnosis is essential because it helps you:

• Better understand your child’s needs and how to support them

• Access tailored support in school and educational settings

• Receive guidance and resources for parents and carers

• Clarify misconceptions and understand that your child's behaviours are part of their neurodiversity, not ‘difficult’ behaviour

What Does a Private Autism Assessment Involve?

Starting an autism assessment can seem overwhelming but knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns. Once you’ve self-referred, our experienced clinicians will guide you through each step:

• Pre-assessment information gathering: Before assessment, you may be asked to complete questionnaires and provide background, including school reports, medical records, and observations from family and educators. We will then provide you with advice on whether an assessment or alternative services may be appropriate.

• An ADOS-2 assessment with the child/young person: Involving some games, informal discussion and activities designed to understanding of how they process things and communicate. In preparation for this assessment, the child and young person will be supported with access to information about where they will be going and who they will be working with.

• An in-depth parent/carer interview or ADR-i: where information is gathered about a child/young person’s history and their current profile of needs

• A diagnostic outcome: Provided by a multi-disciplinary team including input from a paediatrician, speech and language therapist, and psychologist
