Autism assessment
For a question that has usually been there a while: social communication, sensory experience, and the things other people find easy that take so much more out of you. Assessed in JLT.
What to expect
How it tends to start
In short
If you have assumed you left this too late, or that it is too subtle to be worth assessing — neither is a reason not to ask.

A free 15-minute call
Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.
A screening first
A screening establishes whether a full assessment is the right step before anything is booked. Where it is not, that is said plainly.
The assessment itself
Developmental history, social communication, sensory experience, patterns of behaviour and interest, and how daily life actually goes. Clinical interviews and evidence-based measures, across several appointments.
Sometimes, other people
Developmental information from family or others who have known you a long time may be asked for, where it is clinically useful. Never without your knowing.
What it looks at
- Longstanding social or communication differences
- Sensory experiences other people do not notice
- Patterns of behaviour and deep interests
- Masking, and what it costs
- Making sense of earlier mental health experiences
- Questions about identity and neurodivergence

Questions people ask
The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.
No. Children, teenagers and adults are assessed here — including adults who have spent years working around something without a name for it.
