“Dr Achuthan was absolutely brilliant. I was really anxious for my appointment and he made me feel at ease by walking me through the assessment and explaining questions in a way that I could fully understand. The assessment did not feel rushed, I felt like he was completely present and attentive and cared about my experiences. He was the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of talking to. At the age of 28, I finally felt listened to and understood about the difficulties I have faced my whole life. I received clear guidance regarding any aftercare I may need post diagnosis, including relevant support and potential therapy. My overall experience has been a very positive one. Thank you so much for everything.”

“Dr Sai was brilliant. I was nervous for the assessment but he was very friendly, understanding, clear, patient, and professional. His friendly manner put me at ease immediately. The whole assessment went very smoothly, all of the questions were clear and easy to answer. Any question I was unsure of, Sai gave examples or happily re-explained, which hugely helped. I felt listened to and didn’t feel rushed or pressured to answer any questions at all. My overall experience was great, everything was explained in lots of detail for me to understand and he was extremely professional, friendly, and understanding. Overall, my assessment with Dr Sai was excellent and i would really recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for such a positive experience with my assessment, i am very grateful.”

For More Information

What is an adult autism assessment?
An adult autism assessment is a detailed evaluation that looks at whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. It is designed to give you a clearer understanding of your neurodivergent profile, including how autism may affect your day-to-day life, relationships, work and study.
This assessment is suitable for adults who have long-standing questions about possible autism, including differences in social communication, sensory processing, routines, flexibility or emotional regulation. It can also be helpful for those who feel they have masked traits for many years or want greater clarity about their experiences.
Assessments are carried out by experienced neurodevelopmental clinicians with expertise in adult autism and wider mental health. The assessment process follows recognised diagnostic standards and considers your presentation carefully and thoroughly.
The online assessment is a structured process rather than a single appointment. It may include a developmental and life-history interview, self-report questionnaires, supporting information from someone who knows you well where available, and a review of any relevant background information.
The online adult autism assessment lasts 90 minutes. This forms part of a wider assessment process that also includes pre-assessment review and the preparation of your diagnostic report.
Yes. The assessment looks at your developmental history as well as your current experiences. This may include school, work, relationships, sensory experiences, routines, communication and everyday functioning.
No. Questionnaires are only one part of the process. Your clinician will also carry out a detailed interview and consider your wider history, current presentation and any co-occurring difficulties before reaching any conclusions.
The assessment looks at areas such as social communication, flexibility of thinking, sensory processing, routines, relationships, daily living and emotional wellbeing. It may also consider whether other factors, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression or trauma, could be relevant.
After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining whether you meet the criteria for autism. The report is designed to be clear and practical, helping you understand how your profile may affect different areas of life.
Yes. The report can help support conversations with universities and disability services. It may be useful when requesting support such as Disabled Students’ Allowance, teaching adjustments, exam support, mentoring or other practical provisions.
Yes. The report can support conversations with employers, HR teams, occupational health and other services about reasonable adjustments. It may help explain how autism affects communication, sensory demands, working patterns and other aspects of working life.
Yes. The report includes practical recommendations tailored to your needs. These may relate to work, university, daily life and wider support, so you have clearer guidance on possible next steps.
The assessment carefully considers whether other factors may also be relevant, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression or burnout. Where appropriate, further assessment may be recommended to help build a fuller picture.
Yes. Follow-up appointments can help you understand the outcome of the assessment, think through next steps, and consider how you may want to use the diagnosis in different areas of life.
Yes. Online appointments can be a helpful option for adults who would prefer to avoid travel or would like an assessment that fits more easily around work, study or daily commitments.
Yes.
Yes. ADHD Health Clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means the clinic is required to meet established standards for safety, quality of care and clinical governance in England.
