Private autism assessment in the UK

An autism assessment (sometimes called an ASD assessment or a private autism test) is a structured diagnostic appointment with a qualified clinician. Some clinics assess adults, some assess children, and many do both — online or in person. Below are the 51 providers we list that assess autism, with their published prices and current waits.

NHS Right to Choose or private?

In England you can ask your GP for an NHS-funded referral to a contracted provider at no cost to you. Right to Choose is used most often for ADHD, so check the clinic holds an autism contract. Paying privately is the other route.

How Right to Choose works

Online or in person?

Online assessments are usually quicker to book and available UK-wide. In-person assessments can suit children, or anyone who finds video calls difficult. Both lead to the same diagnostic report.
