Autism Identification Assessment

• £1200 for UK residents

• €1380 for Europe-wide residents

Prior to your assessment, your Clinical Psychologist will e-mail you outlining the topics of discussion during the assessment. Our assessment will be made up of exploring your experiences and will be led by the initial information you return upon booking. Although we will using a neuro-affirmative framework, we will be mapping your experiences collaboratively on a triangulation grid that will adhere to the criteria of the DSM-V.

It is important to learn about your early development to complete the process. We understand that an autism identification assessment can be deeply personal, and you may not want to involve members of your family or friends. There is no requirement to include family, and it is your decision how you obtain and share information from early life.

An autism identification assessment takes approximately 2 hours to complete. We aim to keep the assessment process transparent and collaborative throughout. This means that we will decide together whether Autism is the best descriptor for your experiences. After completing the assessment, we dedicate time to discuss suitable resources and provide guidance. Our goal is to deliver all documentation to you within 14 working days from the assessment's completion.

This documentation will include:

• a copy of the DSM-5 triangulation grid

• a full report outlining your experiences and the outcome of the assessment

• a statement letter (briefly states the outcome of the assessment)

• employer adjustments report (if necessary)

We seek to use and provide documentation with consistent neuro-affirmative language, therefore avoiding using the term ‘diagnosis’. We understand that in some countries and services the use of the word ‘diagnosis’ is required for identification documentation to be recognized. Upon your request, we can provide a statement letter using your preferred terms.

We provide a post-diagnostic therapy session for those individuals identified as Autistic to reflect on their identity and experience thus far. This is offered outside The Berlin Autism Clinic, with a trusted neuroaffirmative therapist, Kadri Arula at Arula Music Therapy. There is no additional cost for this service.

At this time, our assessments are mainly online. There is a possibility to complete in-person assessments upon request for an additional fee. Please do contact us if this would be of interest to you.

Our assessments are fully NICE guidelines and ESCAP compliant. If you would like to ensure that your assessment includes all required information to be recognized in your country of residence, do send through your inquiry for confirmation. Our assessments have consistently been recognized by health institutions.

Our assessments are completed in English.
