How we can help
Our diagnostic process involves an initial screening by trained staff to identify and diagnose adults with autism.
Upon receiving an autism diagnosis, patients can attend short-term follow-up sessions to receive assistance with the following:
- adjustment to autism diagnosis
- education around diagnosis
- working with employers and services to make reasonable adjustments
- sensory assessment
- signposting to services that offer further support
We offer advice and support to patients and their families to improve long-term mental and physical wellbeing. This involves developing a better understanding of the diagnosis to help patients manage their emotions upon receiving it in adulthood.
We provide advice on coping strategies and techniques to help overcome challenges and manage the impact of autism on daily life.
We connect patients to various mainstream services, offer guidance to professionals, and support positive outcomes for people with autism.
Our services include phone and email support, home visits, and clinic appointments.
