"I’m really grateful to all the staff at the service, from administrators to clinicians, in helping support me throughout the assessment process. This diagnosis has helped me understand myself more and seek out meaningful strategies to help me manage my day-to-day life better. All the communications I received were clear and prompt and helped reduce any worries and questions I had prior to the assessment. My clinician was patient, understanding and knowledgeable; was able to help me identify after my diagnosis strategies that have been highly useful since my diagnosis."

"I said on the day, but we are just so grateful for your existence and expertise. It is so vital given how little autism in girls is still currently relatively misunderstood even amongst professionals in the field. It has been enlightening and life changing learning of your existence."

"We felt that the assessment was very thorough, with professionals who were compassionate and experts in their field. And our child was relaxed, included, and happy to take part, which was very important to us."

"It felt like a treat to be able to talk in depth with a respectful and sympathetic person. That in itself was quite cathartic. Positive outcomes – it’s great to have an “explanation” for why I find some things so difficult, that others do not. It’s enabling me to be less rigid in my responses, which feels liberating and surprising, given the diagnosis."

"I felt well supported throughout the day, it was a calm space, the staff were supportive, and the garden was really needed too."

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the team for their expertise, kindness and understanding. We were so pleased to have seen them, I can’t imagine anywhere else being better. I will be forever grateful that they assessed our beautiful girl."
