Are you an adult seeking clarity about your social interactions, communication, or sensory experiences? Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic offers a trusted private adult autism assessment service in London, providing comprehensive evaluations led by experienced clinicians. Our aim is to deliver accurate diagnoses with personalised support to help you understand your unique needs and access the right resources.

Why Choose a Private Adult Autism Assessment?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neuro-developmental condition that affects how people perceive and interact with the world. Many adults may have gone undiagnosed in childhood and only begin to seek assessment later in life as they recognise challenges related to social communication, sensory sensitivities, or routine changes.

Opting for a private adult autism assessment offers several benefits. It ensures a quicker, confidential process without the lengthy NHS waiting times. At Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, our specialist clinicians have extensive experience diagnosing autism in adults and understand the subtleties that can make assessments complex.

Receiving a diagnosis is often a crucial step in accessing tailored support, therapy, workplace adjustments, and self-understanding. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through this process with care, respect, and professionalism.

What Does a Private Adult Autism Assessment Involve?

A thorough autism assessment considers various factors, including developmental history, current behaviours, and cognitive functioning. The process usually includes:

  • A detailed clinical interview exploring your developmental history and current challenges

  • Standardised autism-specific questionnaires and behavioural assessments

  • Observation of social communication and interaction

  • Cognitive or neuropsychological testing when necessary

Our clinicians adapt the assessment to your individual profile, recognising that autism presents uniquely in each person. The evaluation typically spans several appointments, allowing us to gather a complete picture to make an accurate diagnosis.

Following the assessment, we provide a detailed report outlining the findings, whether a diagnosis of autism is confirmed, and recommendations for support, therapies, or workplace adjustments.

  • Personalised feedback with clear explanations of the diagnosis

  • Reports suitable for use with healthcare providers, employers, or educational institutions

  • Support and advice on accessing further services or accommodations

What Are the Signs That You Might Benefit from a Private Adult Autism Assessment?

Adults seeking an autism assessment often report lifelong difficulties in social settings, including challenges with eye contact, interpreting social cues, or building relationships. Sensory sensitivities to noise, light, or touch are also common, as is a preference for routine and predictability.

Other signs may include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed in busy environments

  • Intense interests or hobbies that differ from peers

  • Difficulties with executive functioning, such as planning and organisation

  • Anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns linked to undiagnosed autism
