Adult Autism Pathway

ADHD can impact a person’s performance in school, work, home, and relationships. If you suspect you have ADHD, getting assessed can lead to treatment that helps you manage symptoms, understand emotions, and live more comfortably.

Sign of Autism in adults

People with autism experience the world in a way that can be quite different from others — through what they see, hear, and feel. While there are shared challenges among individuals on the spectrum, each person is unique, with their own set of experiences and difficulties.

For many, receiving a diagnosis in adulthood brings a deep sense of clarity — a moment where things start to make sense. It can help explain thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may have felt confusing for years. With the right support and tools, it becomes easier to navigate life’s challenges — and that all begins with a proper assessment.

If you’ve been wondering where to start, you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out and have a conversation with someone who understands.

What happens in an Autism assessment?

A caring and experienced clinician will take the time to truly get to know you — your thoughts, experiences, and how you see the world. Your psychiatrist will look at the full picture, gathering insights not just from you, but also from trusted people in your life, like family or close friends, as well as helpful tools like checklists and rating scales. It’s all about understanding you in the most thoughtful and supportive way possible.

Form of autism

In the UK, autism is still understood as having different forms, often described as part of a wide ‘spectrum.’ Each person’s experience can look quite different — the signs and traits can range from mild to more noticeable, depending on how they affect day-to-day life.

Support for Autistic Individuals

While there isn’t a single set treatment for autism, there are many helpful approaches available. Therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can make a real difference — helping autistic individuals better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, support their mental wellbeing, and lead a more comfortable and fulfilling life.
