Autism Assessment for women in Birmingham

Clarity Clinic is built entirely around women, so a autism assessment here accounts for the things generalist services routinely miss: cyclical symptoms, hormonal transitions, years of masking, and the way Birmingham referral routes actually work in practice. Birmingham and Solihull has been one of the more heavily pressured adult ADHD pathways in the Midlands, and several local services have periodically paused routine referrals. Most people we speak to here have already been waiting a long time before they look privately.

In-person capacity in Birmingham is thinner than London or Manchester, so many clinicians work remotely with occasional city centre clinic days.

If your symptoms shift across the month or have changed since your late thirties, read ADHD and PMS, oestrogen and dopamine and ADHD and menopause before your appointment. It usually makes the first session far more useful.
