Finishing the assessment appointments is not the end of the process. Here is what follows.
Feedback
For adult autism assessments: After the ADOS assessment, we bring together information from all parts of the assessment process, including the developmental history interview, any questionnaires or reports, and our clinical observations. We will then provide feedback about our findings, talk through whether you meet criteria for an autism diagnosis, and discuss recommendations for support going forward.
For adult ADHD assessments: After the assessment, we bring together information from all parts of the process, including the developmental and clinical history interview, any questionnaires or reports, and our clinical observations. We will then provide feedback about our findings, talk through whether you meet criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, and discuss recommendations for support going forward.
For child and young person autism assessments: After the ADOS assessment, we bring together information from all parts of the assessment process, including the initial family appointment, the parent/carer developmental history interview, any questionnaires or reports, and our clinical observations. We will then provide feedback about our findings, talk through whether your child or young person meets criteria for an autism diagnosis, and discuss recommendations for support going forward.

Your written report
After the assessment, we will send you a detailed written report summarising the information gathered, our clinical findings, the outcome of the assessment, and any recommendations for support. If you would like to talk through the report or have any further questions, we can also offer a follow-up phone call if needed.
Questions before you book
If you would like to know what the report might be used for, bring that question to your free 20-minute consultation. If you hope to use it for healthcare, education or work, it helps to check the requirements with the relevant organisation first.
