Face to face appointments in our Edinburgh clinic

The Autism Service has been delivering autism and ADHD assessments for both children and adults since 2019.

With over 55,000 people living with autism across Scotland, we recognised the need to supply face-to-face appointments at more locations. Waiting months for an autism or ADHD diagnosis can be stressful and opening our Edinburgh clinic means private assessments are now more readily available across Scotland.

In 2025, The Autism Service will launch its Edinburgh clinic; one of two clinics opening soon in Scotland. In doing so, we will increase our capacity to service all nations of the UK. Initially, we will be providing autism assessment only, although these will be available for both children and adults.

Our clinicians deliver fast, accurate diagnostic assessments to identify whether an individual has autism.
