Norwich & NHS waits

Your local autism assessment options in Norwich

Norwich serves a largely rural county, and autism assessment is harder to access locally than ADHD assessment because it needs clinicians trained in specific observational instruments. NHS waits commonly run to years on a separately commissioned pathway. Remote assessment is practical for much of the process, though it is worth asking a provider how they handle the developmental history element, which usually needs someone who knew you as a child.

The NHS position

Who decides NHS funding in Norwich

NHS autism assessment for Norwich is commissioned by NHS Norfolk and Suffolk ICB, formed on 1 April 2026 from NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB and NHS Suffolk and North East 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 Norwich: FAQ

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