Adult Autism Assessments
A strengths-based, person-centred pathway for understanding how you experience the world, communicate, and relate to others. If you’ve felt different, struggled with social communication, or noticed sensory sensitivities, a professional assessment can provide clarity and unlock the right support.
Supportive, respectful, and tailored to you
At our Glasgow practice, our specialist clinicians take a person-centred, strengths-based approach to adult autism assessments. We recognise that autism (also referred to as Autism Spectrum Condition, ASC) presents differently for each individual, and we ensure the process is collaborative, validating, and clinically robust.
What we explore
We take time to understand your lived experience, including developmental history, communication patterns, routines, interests, and sensory processing, alongside the contexts in which you thrive.
Guided by best practice
All autism assessments follow NICE guidelines, ensuring high standards of clinical practice, reliability, and ethical care.
What to expect
Transparent, compassionate, and paced to support comfort and clarity throughout.

A detailed discussion about your experiences, background, and what you hope to gain from the assessment.
Comprehensive clinical interview
A structured, in-depth exploration of developmental history, social communication, routines, interests, and sensory processing.

Collateral information
Where appropriate, we invite input from a family member or someone who knew you in childhood, or review records, to support diagnostic accuracy.
