What Is Autism (ASD)?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects how individuals communicate, interact socially, and experience the world. Because autism presents differently in each person, early professional assessment is vital to understand the child’s unique developmental needs.
Common Indicators of Autism in Children:
- Delayed or absent speech
- Difficulty with eye contact or social engagement
- Repetitive behaviours or fixations
- Sensory sensitivity or emotional overwhelm
- Difficulty with changes in routine
- Limited peer interaction or imaginative play
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Research consistently shows that early diagnosis improves long-term outcomes. Starting support as soon as possible means your child can access interventions, school support, and strategies designed around their strengths.
Our private autism assessments provide:
- A clear explanation of your child’s neurodevelopmental profile
- Recognition of traits, behaviours, and sensory needs
- Professional guidance for parents and carers
- Reports recognised by GPs, schools, and EHCP processes
Step-by-Step Autism Diagnostic Pathway
Our autism assessment process follows the highest clinical standards and is structured to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your child’s needs:
Parent Interview (ADI-R):
A detailed and collaborative conversation between a specialist clinical psychologist and the parent or carer, using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). This captures a full developmental history and offers insight into your child’s social communication profile.
Child Observation (ADOS-2):
A structured, face-to-face assessment using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2). This observation allows our clinicians to evaluate your child’s communication skills, behaviour, play, and social understanding in a controlled and supportive setting.
Multidisciplinary Review & Support:
Your child’s case is reviewed by a highly qualified, experienced team, following the National Framework for Autism. The team considers external input from schools, CAMHS, or speech and language therapy (SALT) to ensure a holistic view of your child’s needs.
Diagnosis & Report:
Where criteria are met, we issue a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. You’ll receive a comprehensive written report with tailored recommendations to support your child’s development, including strategies for home and education settings.
Feedback Session:
Our clinicians will walk you through the findings, answer questions, and advise you on the next steps. Our reports are accepted by schools, GPs, local authorities, and EHCP assessors.
In-Clinic and Remote Options Available
At ASD Child Ltd, we understand that flexibility and timeliness are essential, especially when you’re seeking support for your child.
- Urgent Remote Appointments: We offer expedited remote autism assessments where clinically appropriate. These are designed for families who need answers quickly and may not be able to attend in person straight away.
- In-Clinic Observation: One face-to-face visit is typically required for the ADOS-2 observation. This can be arranged at one of our London clinics:
- The Vale Practice, 64 Grove Vale, East Dulwich, SE22 8DT
- The Space, 12B St. Mary’s Rd, Ealing, W5 5ES
- The remainder of the assessment (parent interviews, feedback sessions) is conducted remotely via secure video consultation for convenience and accessibility.
Our blended approach allows families from across the South East, including Brighton, Surrey, Kent and Portsmouth, to access our services quickly and with minimal disruption.

A diagnosis is only the start. We support families with:
- 1:1 consultations to explore concerns
- Emotional and behavioural strategies
- Guidance on EHCPs, school collaboration, and SEN support
- Signposting to trusted services, reading materials, and peer support
- Parent-focused psychoeducation to increase understanding and confidence
