Face to face appointments at our Sussex clinic
The Autism Service has been delivering autism and ADHD assessments for both children and adults since 2019.
With over 700,000 people living with autism across the UK, 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 Sussex clinic means private assessments are now more readily available across the South East.
Since launching our Sussex clinic in 2022, we’ve been able to increase regional capacity and carry out hundreds of assessments. Currently, we’re only carrying out autism assessments 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. Our Surrey clinic in Guildford is currently our closest clinic that carries out both pathways.
Our clinicians deliver fast, accurate diagnostic assessments to identify whether an individual has ASD or ADHD.
