Your local autism assessment options in Southampton
In Southampton, adult autism assessment runs separately from ADHD assessment, with its own waiting list, and commonly involves waits of years. The practical difference from ADHD is what happens afterwards: there is no prescription, no titration and no shared-care agreement to negotiate with a GP. The report is the outcome, and it is what supports adjustments at work or in education under the Equality Act 2010 — so what the report contains is the thing worth asking about.
