Recommendation for a specialist in ASD assessment in girls/ women based in UK (preferably London)

Hello

I'm posting both in this topic and in Parenting, as I'm unsure of which topic gets more traffic, and I'd like help/ information.

I have a 10 year old daughter, currently in year 5, in primary school in England.

I would like her to be assessed for ASD, she is adept at masking/camouflaging...and I would like the assessment to be scheduled and ideally completed within the next 2.5 months. I appreciate that this means I will need to arrange for her to be assessed privately.

I would be grateful for any recommendations of clinical psychologists that:

  1. specialise in ASD assessment in young girls and women
  2. Have a practice based in or near London
  3. Works in a multidisciplinary team that can also manage the in school observation and other elements of the assessment
  4. Will support/ assist with an EHCP (if one is deemed necessary/ appropiate).

Although our preference is for a clinician that is based in London, we can travel and stay over night if necessary somewhere else in the UK, the priority is finding a great practitioner that specialises in ASD assessments for girls.

Many thanks in advance for any advice, guidance and recommendations!

The Lorna Wing centre for autism in Bromley
AS Directions in London

you could try those. Both very reputable and may be able to offer what you’re looking for.

caveat - I don’t work for either!
