ASC ASSESSMENTS
Gold-Standard Autism assessments
for children, adolescents and adults
What is Autistic Spectrum Condition?
Undiagnosed, people on the Autistic Spectrum are largely misunderstood, and others may experience them as blunt or socially awkward.
A lot of energy is taken up in ‘masking’ and trying to fit into what is seen as socially acceptable, which comes at a cost. The most common strengths and challenges are outlined below:
Strengths:
Attention to detail
Strong focus
Identifying patterns
Strong sense of right and wrong
Trustworthy
Analytical
Loyal
Excellent memory
Passion for chosen interests
Methodical
Accuracy
challenges:
Sensory sensitivities
Overthinking
Anxiety
Often misunderstood
Getting lost in the details
Difficulty reading non-verbal social cues
Taking things literally
Restricted interests
Difficulty adapting to unexpected changes
Anxious when faced with unfamiliar environments
Struggles with small talk
Honesty which is often misunderstood
‘Masking’ which leads to overwhelm
Going through the diagnostic process will give you
a clear picture of what your strengths and challenges are,
which is the first step in being able to put the right support in place to thrive.

Post-Diagnostic Support
Once a diagnosis of ASC has been made, you may require therapeutic support.
Our team of psychologists work closely with ASC and are able to offer therapy after the assessment. Please get in touch to discuss this. If you require medication, we will signpost you to an appropriate psychiatrist or to your GP, where appropriate.
ASC in Girls and Women
It is well known that girls and women are excellent at masking difficulties associated with ASC.
For this reason, the symptoms often go unnoticed for many years. Due to differences in socialisation, girls often display more socially acceptable behaviors, and mold themselves into what they believe others want them to be.
Our Psychologists understand the nuances of ASC in girls, giving you peace of mind that we won’t miss the subtle symptoms due to the effects of masking.
