Adult autism assessment
Robb Psychology Kent provides specialist autism assessments for adults and young people through Autism Kent, our dedicated neurodiversity assessment branch.
Our comprehensive assessments follow NICE guidance and consider the young person's development, strengths and difficulties across home, education and everyday life
Our comprehensive adult autism assessment will include:
Initial screening questionnaires
These are sent to you on email and provide us with preliminary information about your current circumstances, strengths and challenges.
A clinical interview
This will involve questions about your developmental history when you were a child and how you perceive your current presentation.
"Gold standard" assessment tools
We use "gold standard" diagnostic assessment tools, carried out with you to consider your presentation against autism diagnostic criteria.
Clinical discussion
Once we have gathered the information we need, we will evaluate and consider the outcome.
When possible we will provide the assessment outcome on the assessment day.
Comprehensive report and feedback
Detailed diagnostic report sent to you securely via email and follow-up meeting to discuss the outcome and recommendations. Recommendations and support suggestions are provided regardless of the diagnositic outcome.
Corroborative information needs to be considered as part of a thorough assessment, so involvement of a parental figure, school reports or other evidence is really helpful. We understand that adults may struggle to get this evidence and so we assess to the best of our ability without it.
For face-to-face appointments we are in Whitstable, Kent, which is within easy reach of Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay, Maidstone, Medway, Ashford, Sittingbourne, Thanet, Dover and Deal. We also offer online consultations. If you would like to discuss the process, have any questions or would like to arrange an initial free telephone or email consultation, please do get in touch.
