Your local autism assessment options in London

London has more independent autism assessment capacity than anywhere else in the UK, which makes it one of the few places where choosing between providers is a real decision rather than taking whoever is available. That choice matters more for autism than for ADHD: providers differ in whether they use ADOS-2, ADI-R or an interview alone, whether they gather informant history, and whether a written report is included or charged separately. NHS waits for adult autism assessment commonly run to years.

Good questions

Private autism assessment in London: FAQ

How much is a private autism assessment in London?
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 London?
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.
