What is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference. Early recognition and support can make a significant positive impact. Autism is not an illness or disease—it simply means the brain works in a different way.

Every autistic person is unique. Some may need very little support, while others may require daily help from family or carers. Autistic people often experience additional conditions, such as ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, depression, or epilepsy.

Common signs of autism in adults include:

• Difficulty understanding what others are thinking or feeling

• Feeling anxious in social situations

• Struggling to form or maintain friendships

• Appearing blunt, disinterested, or “rude” without meaning to

• Taking things literally, e.g. not understanding sarcasm or idioms

• Feeling distressed when routines change

• Strong attention to detail, patterns, smells, or sounds

• Intense interest in specific subjects or activities

Autism can also present differently in women and men. For example, autistic women may mask or hide their difficulties, which can make diagnosis more challenging.

Treatment and Support

Autism is not something to be “cured.” Instead, support focuses on helping people understand their strengths and challenges, and improving quality of life. This may include:

• Building communication and social understanding

• Managing anxiety and stress

• Developing flexibility and problem-solving skills

• Improving emotional regulation

• Accessing supportive therapies and peer networks

At ISC-CARE, we provide therapeutic input alongside diagnosis, helping individuals and families feel supported every step of the way.

Adult Autism Assessment

Our Adult Autism Assessment is suitable for anyone who suspects they may be autistic but has not previously received a diagnosis.

The assessment includes:

• A comprehensive clinical evaluation (including mental health and psychosocial history)

• A structured autism diagnostic interview aligned to NICE guidance and DSM-5-TR/ICD-11 diagnostic criteria

• Where clinically indicated and appropriate, our clinicians may use standardised diagnostic tools and frameworks, including ADI-R (developmental history / informant-based assessment) and ADOS (structured observational assessment)

• A detailed written report, including recommendations for ongoing support and care

Assessment Process

At ISC-Care, our Autism (ASD) assessments are available for individuals aged 17 and over and are delivered through a structured, comprehensive, and clinically robust two-stage process to ensure diagnostic accuracy and best practice compliance. The assessment is conducted by a Master’s-level Assistant Psychologist and lasts approximately 3 hours, allowing for an in-depth exploration of developmental history, social communication, sensory profile, behavioural patterns, and current functioning. Appointments are available remotely via Microsoft Teams or in person at our Liverpool or Leeds clinics. We use evidence-based assessment frameworks aligned with NICE guidance to ensure a thorough and balanced evaluation.

Following the assessment, all clinical information is reviewed within our multidisciplinary framework. A 25-minute Microsoft Teams consultation is then arranged with our Consultant, who finalises the diagnostic formulation and confirms the outcome. This Consultant appointment is included within the assessment fee. This two-stage model ensures that every Autism assessment is detailed, evidence-based, and clinically sound, providing a clear, comprehensive report suitable for sharing with GPs, universities, employers, or other healthcare professionals to support reasonable adjustments and onward care where appropriate.

Our Approach

At ISC-CARE, we recognise that adults with neurodevelopmental differences often experience challenges that can affect relationships, family life, careers, and self-esteem. Our assessments are designed to be individualised, evidence-based, and compassionate.

We also provide post-diagnostic therapeutic options, which may include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Coaching and skills development

• Medication management (where appropriate)

Our assessments are conducted by trained assistant psychologists, with diagnoses confirmed by our clinical team through remote consultant review and MDT discussion.
