According to a recent survey, children’s mental health is a leading worry for parents. It can be particularly concerning when you’re worried your child is exhibiting signs of a condition like ASD (autistic spectrum disorders), which continually impacts their experience at school and at home.
What is ASD and where can you book an assessment in Surrey?
The term autism was changed to ‘autism spectrum disorder’(ASD) in 2013 by the American Psychiatric Association. This condition affects someone’s social communication skills and can cause repetitive behaviour and a dislike of change.
If you think your child or adolescent is showing signs of ASD, a professional assessment is absolutely key. An expert can also observe how your child interacts with people.
Any diagnosis assessment must be carried out by specialists, like our team at Child Mental Health Clinic.
It can help to list the signs you believe your child is showing before visiting a psychiatrist. During a diagnostic procedure, our team will work with your child’s school if possible to ensure we get a well-rounded picture.
Recently relocated to Basepoint Business Centre in Camberley, we deliver assessments and treatments for a range of conditions, including autism, bi-polar disorder, depression and anxiety, and eating disorders.
