"Simply the best report (and overall experience) we have had from any professionals we have come in to contact with (and there have been many). The report is packed full of brilliant, positive and supportive advice and hand-picked neuro-affirming resources to help our family. It's been a wonderful experience"
"Chris and Sue are really easy people to talk to and despite feeling nervous initially, I felt quickly at ease with them. This helped immensely throughout the assessment process. Their approach allowed me to discover my autistic identity in a positive and affirming way"
​
"Our son has been using your words, and telling everyone he is 'marvelously autistic'!"

Pebble Autism
child and adult autism assessment
helping you find joy in your uniqueness
Our Services and Pricing
​We provide autism assessments for children aged 11-18.
We provide autism assessments and combined autism/ADHD assessments for adults 18+.
​
We understand that individuals and families who come to us have often had a history of difficult experiences and that seeking an autism assessment can be daunting. Here at Pebble Autism we make every effort to make the assessment process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
​
Prior to the assessment we gather background information and ask for screening questionnaires to be completed to ensure that you are making the right choice in pursuing an autism assessment.
​
Each assessment involves taking a detailed history usually via video call. We find that this can really help busy parents to be able to work the meeting around other commitments, but not everyone feels comfortable on screen so an alternative is always possible.
The ADOS-2 assessment is carried out face to face at our clinic room at
Meet by the Park in Leamington Spa.
Child autism assessments cost £1850
Adult autism assessments cost £1650
Combined adult autism/ADHD assessment £2325
​
Following assessment we produce a detailed report with recommendations. All of the resources we recommend are created by and for autistic people and come from a strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. We reject the 'medical-model' and do not describe autism as a 'disorder' or 'condition'.
