Face to face appointments at our Leicester clinic

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

Around 11,000 people live with autism across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, we recognised the need to supply face-to-face appointments at more locations. Waiting months for an autism diagnosis can be stressful and opening our Leicester clinic means private assessments are now more readily available.

Since opening our Leicester clinic in March 2023, we’ve been able to increase regional capacity and carry out hundreds of assessments. Currently, we’re only carrying out ASD assessments in this clinic, although these are available for both adults and children. If you require an ADHD or combined assessment, please book at an alternative clinic, such as Nottingham, that offers both autism & ADHD assessments.

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