    Autism Assessment for women in London

    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 London referral routes actually work in practice. London ICBs report some of the longest adult ADHD and autism assessment waits in England, with several boroughs quoting multi-year timeframes and a number of services closed to new routine referrals. Right to Choose is widely used here, though provider capacity varies by borough.

    Almost every clinician in our London network offers remote consultations, and a majority also hold in-person clinics. If you want a face to face first appointment, London is the easiest part of the UK to arrange it quickly.

    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.
