We get it. We see you.

For over 50 years we have been supporting autistic people and their families across East Anglia.
So whether you’re an adult exploring your neurodivergent identity or a parent seeking answers for your child, we’re here to guide you with warmth, clarity, and expertise.

We know how much of a big deal this is for you.

We appreciate that you may be either at the beginning of your research of the Autism or ADHD assessment process, or perhaps you’ve been looking around for a while.

There’s a few different pathways to choose from and so you’re probably here to find out if a private assessment would be a good fit for you or a loved one.

Here at Autism Anglia we know how challenging it can feel at times when you want to make the right decision.  From our assessment services, to our community groups, and to those we care for in supported living accommodation we talk to autistic people and their families each and every day and so we know, first hand, the power of an official diagnosis, through assessment, can bring.

Our Diagnostic and Assessment Team, based in Colchester, offer:

  • Autism assessments for adults and children.
  • ADHD assessments for adults and children.

We accept assessment applications from across the country and people regularly travel from all parts of the country to see our diagnostic team.

What is more, we’re a highly respected UK charity with over 50 years experience of working with autistic people and associated conditions.

Our assessment services are delivered by qualified clinicians who care deeply about your whole journey.  Not just your diagnosis.

NHS Right to Choose vs. Private Assessment: What’s best for you?

  • Gold Standard Autism and ADHD assessments carried out in-person at our comfortable Assessment & Diagnostics centre in Colchester, Essex.
  • Diagnostic reports that meet NICE guidelines and so are accepted by schools, GPs, and workplaces.
