Looking for Answers About Autism in Adulthood?
Get a clear, professional diagnosis from a UK consultant psychiatrist—all online, with no waitlist.
Many autistic adults reach their 20s, 30s, or even 60s before realising their lifelong traits may have a name. If you’ve always felt “different,” struggled with social nuance, or exhausted yourself trying to fit in, an autism assessment can help make sense of your experience—and open doors to the right support.
Dr. Patel provides private, online autism assessments for adults across the UK. Every consultation is one-to-one, structured, and informed by clinical best practices like DSM-5 criteria and ADOS-2 interview adaptations. No clinics, no long delays—just professional clarity delivered respectfully.
Could This Be Autism?
You may benefit from an assessment if you’ve experienced:
- Lifelong difficulties with social communication or “fitting in”
- Sensory sensitivities (light, sound, touch, textures)
- A strong need for routine or predictability
- Intense focus on specific interests
- Difficulty with unspoken rules or sarcasm
- Masking or burnout from “pretending to be normal”
- Misdiagnosis (e.g., depression, anxiety, OCD)
- A sense that you're different—but not sure why
