💙💗Are you wondering if your child might be autistic?

It’s natural to have questions and want the very best for your child. An autism assessment can provide peace of mind, helping you better understand their needs while opening the door to the right care, support, and guidance.

Every child is unique. An early understanding can make all the difference in helping them thrive. 🌟

How does the Screening Process work at Dr Hunt Psychology? What's involved?

Our screening process is a key first step to make sure that you access the right assessment and support, including matching each client with the most appropriate clinicians from the very start.

Going back to school after the summer holidays isn’t always easy. Some children struggle with the shift from relaxed routines to the structure of school. For neurodiverse children, this transition can feel even tougher.

You might notice:

😟 Anxiety or school refusal
😴 Sleep problems
😢 Meltdowns or emotional outbursts

Every child is different. Some may even welcome the return to a routine. However, the transition itself can still be stressful.

💡 An autism assessment can provide clarity and open the door to tailored support, helping your child feel more understood both at school and at home.

NICE guidance highlights the importance of a detailed written report. This should cover:

* Developmental history
* Observations
* Results
* Practical recommendations

I always provide parents with a clear, comprehensive report and take time to explain the findings and discuss next steps. Always check that your final report from your provider will contain all the above.

When your child is being assessed, it’s important that everyone’s voice is heard 👨‍👩‍👧

This means input from parents, schools or nurseries, plus structured observations.

In my professional experience, the observations should always be conducted face to face when it comes to assessing children, as this gives rise to a more comprehensive assessment. Furthermore, face to face allows the use of clinically validated tools (e.g. ADOS-2) which are not designed to be used remotely.

Do you follow NICE guidelines?

This is a question you should always ask when deciding upon the right provider for a neurodiversity assessment - and you must ensure the answer is YES we do!

Receiving an autism diagnosis as an adult can be life-changing. It’s not about labels but more about understanding yourself on a deeper level and making sense of things that may have felt confusing for years.

We’re here to support you on that journey, offering a safe, respectful space where everything starts to make a little more sense. A space without judgment, just understanding. 💙
