Face-to-face appointments in the Forest of Dean

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

With over 700,000 people across the UK living with autism, we recognised the need to supply face-to-face appointments at more locations. Waiting months for an autism diagnosis can be stressful. As we open our newest clinic in the Forest of Dean in January 2024, it means that private assessments are now more readily available in the area.

Our Forest of Dean clinic allows us to increase regional capacity and carry out hundreds of assessments for clients based in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. Currently, we’re only carrying out autism assessments in this clinic, although these are available for both adults and children. If you require an ADHD or combined assessment, please book at one of our other locations. Bristol is our closest clinic that offers both autism & ADHD assessments.

Our clinicians deliver fast, accurate diagnostic assessments to identify whether you or your child has ASD or ADHD.
