Your local autism assessment options in Brighton
Brighton has an unusually visible autistic community, and adults here are more likely to seek assessment on their own initiative than to wait for a GP to suggest it. The NHS route does not reward that initiative: adult autism assessment is separately commissioned from ADHD and commonly involves waits of years. Private assessment matches the intent — though it is worth comparing which instruments a provider uses, because autism assessment varies more between providers than ADHD assessment does.

Who decides NHS funding in Brighton
NHS autism assessment for Brighton is commissioned by NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB, formed on 1 April 2026 from NHS Sussex ICB and NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB — so guidance written before then names a body that no longer exists. Whether NHS Right to Choose is open, capped or paused here is its decision, not a clinic's, and it can change at short notice. How Right to Choose works →
