Our Process
Autism Clinic London is a Community Paediatric Consultant-led service with highly experienced doctors and multidisciplinary professionals. We provide Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years. We can provide both virtual and face-to-face assessments.
How do our Private Assessments Work
Step One
Step Two
Step Three
Step Four
Step Five
initial video consultation
In this initial 15-minute video consultation with a Specialist Doctor, we will gather your concerns about your child, and review any previous reports to determine whether a full autism assessment is required. This initial session costs £49.
Observation and Interactive Session
After the initial 15-minute video consultation, a full assessment may be recommended for the price of £1,625*.
This will start with gathering further information from the educational setting with your consent (if applicable). Then an observational assessment (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – ADOS-2) will take place to assess your child’s social communication, interaction and play by carrying out different tasks. This will be completed face-to-face at our Harley Street or Paddington clinic.
* Please see Our Prices page for information on special pricing for low-income families.
Physical examination
A 30-minute physical examination by one of our Specialist Doctors will take place at our Harley Street or Paddington Clinic. If your child is under five years old, we will also carry out a developmental assessment (Schedule of Growing Skills 2- SOGS-2).
Diagnostic Interview with Feedback
A 90-minute diagnostic video interview with the parent will take place with one of our Specialist Doctors (this will include questions relating to your child’s medical and developmental history).
During this virtual appointment, our Specialist Doctor will also observe/interact with your child in their home environment.
Following this, your Doctor will review all the clinical information from the previous assessments, as well as any additional information provided, and will feedback the outcome to you.
Post Diagnostic Care
Following your child’s assessment, our clinical team will collate all the gathered information and prepare a comprehensive report tailored to your child’s needs.
If your child is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder:
• We will arrange a virtual appointment with our clinical team within 4 weeks of your assessment. During this call, we will answer any questions you may have following the diagnosis and guide you through our comprehensive post-diagnostic offer.
• We will share our post-diagnostic resource pack to support your child’s needs and optional post-diagnostic support available from Autism Clinic London.
More information on our post-diagnostic services can be found here and on our Instagram feed.

Autism Clinic London is staffed by a team of specialist Doctors and highly skilled clinicians. Your child will be assessed by our specialist multidisciplinary team.
Our doctors and the multidisciplinary team are all specialists in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and use globally recognised standards to make our assessments. We all work closely with and for the NHS thereby ensuring that the care your child receives is second to none.
Using Technology to Streamline the Process
Our technology allows us to streamline the diagnosis process. We have designed our platform in order to offer a seamless, simple and secure service.
With the advent of Covid-19, our service has become all the more relevant. Our platform allows you to see your doctor remotely. All bookings are made through our secure website and calls are made on our secure platform making it easy to stay in touch and schedule appointments.
Schedule your appointments at a time that suits you
We aim to offer maximum flexibility when it comes to your appointments. Our online portal allows us to offer you appointments either during or outside of office hours. Providing a diagnosis via our platform removes the need for you to travel to our clinic for a face-to-face meeting saving you valuable time.
All appointments are booked through our online portal meaning you can log in at any time and arrange or see your next appointment.
Keeping your data secure
Protecting and securing patient data is of key importance. Every person, team, and organisation deserves and expects their data to be secure and confidential. Safeguarding this data is a critical responsibility that we take very seriously.
We log, monitor and audit all system calls and have alerting in place that indicates a potential intrusion. Analysis of logs is automated to the extent practical to detect potential issues and alert responsible personnel.
