Private assessment pathway
Private Autism Assessment UK
NeuroPath offers clinician-led private autism assessment pathways for adults, children and young people across the UK. We approach every assessment with care, respect and attention to the information that matters to the individual and their family.
What to expect
A structured assessment, tailored with care
Autism assessment draws on more than a single appointment or form. The clinical team considers the individual’s experiences, their developmental history and the information that is relevant to the agreed pathway.
Where it is relevant, the clinical team may invite information from a parent, guardian, teacher or other informant. Any invitation is limited to the specific form and does not give access to a patient record or portal.
Your assessment may include
- A clinician-led discussion of current experiences and relevant developmental history
- Consideration of information from a parent, guardian or another person who knows the individual well, where appropriate and consented to
- Structured clinical assessment activities where indicated by the pathway
- Time to discuss the assessment outcome and ask questions
- A written report following completion of the clinical assessment pathway
Common questions
Before you enquire
Can I enquire for my child?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian can contact us to discuss an assessment for a child or young person. The clinical team can explain what information may be helpful before an appointment.
Will a questionnaire decide the outcome?
No. Questionnaires can provide useful background information, but they are only one source of information. A diagnosis is never generated automatically from a form or score.
