Face to face appointments at our Exeter clinic

The Autism Service has been delivering autism and ADHD assessments for both children and adults since 2019.

With over 700,000 people living with autism across the UK, we recognised the need to supply face-to-face appointments at more locations. Waiting months for an autism diagnosis can be stressful and opening our Exeter clinic means private assessments are now more readily available.

Our recently opened Exeter clinic will allow us to increase regional capacity and carry out hundreds of assessments. Initially, we are providing autism assessments only, although these will be available for both children and adults.

Our clinicians deliver fast, accurate diagnostic assessments to identify whether an individual has ASD.
