Assessments

Comprehensive Autism Assessment Enfield

A path towards understanding.

Autism assessments designed for daily life and growth.

At PsychWell, our autism assessments are available for children and adults. Each assessment is designed to offer greater insight into how communication, social interaction, and behaviour patterns shape day-to-day experiences.

Your psychologist takes a careful and considered approach, drawing on observations alongside input from family and other relevant sources. Rather than relying solely on checklists, we take the time to understand each person’s unique strengths and needs, providing supportive strategies and clear next steps.

What an autism assessment involves

It can be worthwhile to explore whether ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or giftedness may be relevant to your situation before proceeding with a full diagnostic assessment.

At PsychWell, our assessment process is structured to be thoughtful, staged, and clear, aiming to help families feel informed and at ease at every stage, without undue cost or complexity.

Discovery call

A gentle, informal conversation designed to understand your concerns, address any questions, and assess whether an assessment pathway may be the right fit.

Initial consultation

A thorough clinical session incorporating screening measures, observation, and in-depth discussion. This step assists in determining whether a full assessment may be warranted.

Comprehensive assessment

This stage includes a clinical interview and formal standardised assessments. Findings are integrated into a detailed written report.

Feedback Session

A set-aside session to go through the results in detail, offer clear responses to your questions, and outline practical recommendations and appropriate next steps.

This organised approach helps ensure that families are supported with professional guidance from the beginning, advancing to a full assessment only when clinically suitable, and fostering informed decision-making and positive outcomes.

Who we provide assessments for

We offer Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments for children, adolescents, and adults, encompassing comprehensive autism assessments for toddlers, school-aged children, teenagers, and adults. Every assessment is carefully tailored to reflect the individual’s developmental stage, personal strengths, challenges, and day-to-day functioning.

Our psychologists support individuals and families seeking a clear, evidence-based autism assessment, whether concerns relate to communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, learning differences, or sensory sensitivities.

If you are thinking about an autism assessment for yourself or your child, please feel welcome to reach out to our clinic whenever you feel ready.

We deliver a thoughtful, professional assessment process intended to provide clarity, deeper understanding, and practical recommendations to support you at home, school, work, and throughout daily life.

Questions we are commonly asked about autism assessments

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that often affects communication, connection, and behaviour. It is typically identified across different age groups, including childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

How many sessions does an autism assessment involve?

An autism assessment is usually completed over one or two appointments. This is so that there is enough time for a formal assessment, observations, and a feedback session.

What assessment tools does your psychologist use?

Your psychologist brings together clinical interviews, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, standardised tests, and neuropsychological assessments to provide a comprehensive assessment that is consistent with national guidelines.

Will the report be accepted for NDIS or school supports?

Yes. Our reports are written by registered psychologists and clinical psychologists. They may be of assistance for NDIS applications under the National Disability Insurance Scheme, as well as for school-based learning and support needs.

Do you offer support and guidance once a diagnosis is confirmed?

Yes. After a formal diagnosis is confirmed, we provide a helpful feedback session along with guidance on the path ahead, intended to support families and adults in understanding their diagnosis and considering approaches that may positively contribute to daily well-being and quality of life.
