Your local autism assessment options in Cambridge

Cambridge is where the AQ-10 screening questionnaire used across UK primary care was developed, at the University of Cambridge Autism Research Centre. That research proximity does not shorten the clinical queue: adult autism assessment is commissioned separately from ADHD and commonly involves waits of years. It is worth knowing the AQ-10 is a screening tool only — diagnosis requires a full assessment, normally ADOS-2 or ADI-R with developmental history, and independent provision exists in the city itself.

Who decides NHS funding in Cambridge

NHS autism assessment for Cambridge is commissioned by NHS Central East ICB, formed on 1 April 2026 from NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB and NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes ICB and NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex 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 →

Good questions

Private autism assessment in Cambridge: FAQ

How much is a private autism assessment in Cambridge?
Private adult autism assessments in the UK typically range from around £800 to £2,500, depending on the instruments used and whether a written report is included. Listed clinics show indicative pricing up front and confirm the exact fee before you book.
Do I need a GP referral to be assessed in Cambridge?
No referral is needed to start. Take the free AQ-10 screening first; if a full assessment looks worthwhile you can compare CQC-registered clinics that assess privately without a GP referral.
What does an adult autism assessment involve?
A clinician takes a detailed developmental and life history, then uses structured instruments — commonly ADOS-2, ADI-R or a comparable interview — to assess social communication, sensory experience and patterns of behaviour. Where possible they also gather information from someone who knew you as a child.
Is the written report included in the price?
It varies by provider, and it matters more for autism than for ADHD: there is no medication, so the report is the outcome. It is the document that supports reasonable adjustments at work or in education under the Equality Act 2010. Always check whether the quoted fee includes it.
