Adult Autism Assessment

Autism Assessment 

Do you think you or someone in your family may be autistic? Have you often felt different to other people and struggled to “fit in”, but have not understood why? Do you often feel exhausted and overwhelmed in some situations? Perhaps from a young age you have used strategies to try to disguise or "mask" your social / communication difficulties? It may be that autism could help you to further understand your struggles as well as your strengths. 

Dr Isobel Robb and her team use their experience, skills and knowledge to provide comprehensive autism diagnosis assessments. We specialise in providing assessments for adults and children over 10. 

If you would like to complete an assessment to find out if you have a diagnosis of autism, here at Robb Psychology Kent we use tools that are “gold-standard” for autism diagnosis.

Assessments can differ between each person and we tailor our assessments for each individual. However, a core assessment will usually include the following:-

  1. Initial screening questionaires and preliminary information gathering, e.g., about family history and early history.
  2.  We meet, usually over two mornings, to complete an in depth assessment and observation of the difficulties. For this we use "gold standard" assessment tools (e.g., ADI-R  and ADOS-2). 
  3. Within 20 working days of the assessment, we will provide a comprehensive diagnostic report and feedback meeting. This is to discuss the outcome of the report, recommendations about steps that can be taken to help you manage in day to day life, as well as ways in which other people may support you (e.g., at home, at work or at school/college). 
  4. Following your assessment we are able to provide post-diagnostic support as required. 

Our reports are recognised by the NHS and other statutory organisations. 

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.
