Our knowledge of ASD (autism) is constantly evolving and making it easier to support people with this condition. This has meant that many people have also received a diagnosis in later life. The singer Sia, for instance, recently revealed she is on the autistic spectrum.
However, in order to get access to professional help, it’s crucial to have an expert assessment carried out. Without this, autism can put a great deal of pressure on the individual, leading to them not fulfilling their potential at school. It can also cause additional difficulties at home.
Child Mental Health Clinic carries out ASD assessments for children and adolescents throughout Surrey and the surrounding locations.
Every assessment we perform is always done thoroughly and in-detail to ensure that the final result is accurate. Getting a formal assessment can be a long-winded process on the NHS, which is why many parents seek a private clinic like our team instead.
Although there is no cure for autism, there are steps that can help.
We can also offer expert support for children and their families, including providing information about the condition, helping you manage difficult behaviours, assisting children in developing their social communication and emotional skills, and medication in cases where it is needed.
