Autism (ASD) Assessments
For Adults, Children & Adolescents
Living with undiagnosed autism can feel exhausting at any age. For children and adolescents, the challenges of growing up are even harder to navigate, especially at school. Even as an adult, many spend years masking and adapting to others’ expectations, often feeling misunderstood without knowing precisely why.
At Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies, we offer autism (ASD) assessments for adults, children and adolescents. We also provide access to any ongoing support you may be interested in, such as therapeutic care and guidance, all delivered by our experienced, multidisciplinary team.
We aim to offer assessments within a month of initial contact, so you’re not left waiting for answers and can get the support you or your child need.

For many people, these experiences aren’t about personality or intelligence. They can be signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people experience the world around them and make sense of social situations.
If you’re considering an autism assessment and would like to talk things through first, we’re happy to help.
You can get in touch via phone or the contact form on our website to arrange an initial consultation and discuss whether an assessment is right for you or your child.
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
Our assessments may be helpful if:
We assess both straightforward and more complex presentations of autism, including where ASD may overlap with other difficulties, such as ADHD.
If you’re interested in being assessed for both ASD and ADHD at the same time, look into our ASD and ADHD Combined Assessment.
We aim to make the assessment process as clear, supportive and straightforward as possible.
We don’t rush through assessments or just tick a few boxes. We take time to understand your individual experiences in depth, using recognised diagnostic criteria and best-practice guidance.
Once you contact us, the process includes:
With increasing awareness of what autism really is, more people are seeking assessments, often facing long waitlists and uncertainty about what support is available. That’s why we do things differently, giving you the answers and support you need as soon as possible.
We offer a joined-up approach to care with a range of options. These include:
You don’t need to seek out different providers – assessment, support and therapy can all be accessed within the same experienced team at Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies.
Just because you don’t receive a diagnosis doesn’t mean your difficulties aren’t valid. Instead, we’ll continue to work with you to provide:
Whatever the outcome, we don’t leave you without direction or support.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition linked to differences in how the brain processes information and responds to both sensory and social input.
These differences can shape how autistic people experience everyday situations and interact with the world around them. Autism is not caused by upbringing or parenting, and it’s certainly not something that needs to be “fixed.”
As it’s a spectrum, autism presentations can vary widely, and many people (particularly girls and adults) are diagnosed later in life after years of masking and adapting to fit others’ expectations.
Adults: £1,895
Children & Adolescents: £2,150
Our fees include the full assessment process, diagnostic outcome and written report. Any further treatment or support will be discussed transparently and never assumed.
Even if you’ve lived your whole life so far without an ASD diagnosis, an assessment can still make a huge difference. An autism assessment helps people make sense of the lifelong difficulties they’ve been living with for years, so they can finally understand themselves better.
An autism assessment can help in several important ways:
Being diagnosed as a child can help understand how and why they experience the world in the way they do. However, there are many adults who reach later life without an autism diagnosis, spending years masking or feeling out of place. An assessment as an adult can help explain these lifelong experiences and help you to finally accept yourself as you are.
Since autism can affect how you communicate, as well as your sensory tolerance and energy levels, it can have a huge impact at work. An assessment can help you discover the support you need and reasonable adjustments available to make working life more manageable.
For children and young people, autism can make certain aspects of school life particularly challenging. That’s why an assessment is recommended, so schools can better understand your child’s needs and provide appropriate support to improve their confidence and wellbeing.
Relationships are grounded in communication, emotions and social interaction, which is why some relationships can be challenging for an autistic person at times. Understanding precisely how ASD shapes your communication and emotional processing can help with misunderstandings and maintaining healthier relationships.
Whatever the outcome, an assessment can guide your next steps, from therapeutic support to practical strategies that improve your day-to-day life. Even when autism is not diagnosed, assessments often provide valuable guidance and direction to improve your life.
For those with an ASD diagnosis, assessments inform the various support options available. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach at Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies; treatment is discussed carefully and collaboratively, and all support is tailored to you as an individual.
