London Autism Service
Part of The Family Treatment Service, London Autism Service brings together experienced clinicians to provide a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to autism assessment and diagnosis. Our aim is to help individuals and families better understand their needs, with clear recommendations and access to ongoing support where appropriate.
Autism Assessments for Children and Adults
An autism assessment can provide valuable insight into the way an individual experiences, communicates and interacts with the world around them. Whether you are exploring an assessment for yourself or your child, London Autism Service offers a carefully considered pathway, tailored to individual circumstances.
Autism Assessments for Children
Our child autism assessments explore a young person's developmental history, communication, social interaction and individual strengths and needs.
The assessment process involves parents or carers and, where appropriate, information from school, allowing our clinicians to build a fuller understanding of the child across different environments.
Autism Assessments for Adults
For adults who have long wondered whether they may be autistic, a formal assessment can provide greater understanding of their experiences, strengths and challenges.
Our assessments explore developmental history, communication and social experiences, bringing together information from different stages of life to support a careful diagnostic evaluation.
Support Beyond Diagnosis
An autism diagnosis is not necessarily the end of the journey. Understanding what it means for everyday life, education, relationships and wellbeing can be equally important. London Autism Service offers access to a range of specialist support, which may include clinical psychology, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and family sessions.
Our multidisciplinary approach allows recommendations to be shaped around individual needs, helping children, adults and families identify practical next steps.
