Carnaby Autism Support
Our skilled and experienced clinicians offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments for children and adults that adhere to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance.
Our assessments are tailored to each person’s needs and designed to ensure you leave feeling empowered about your future.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to autism and ADHD support, recognising that each person’s journey is unique. Whether you’re seeking guidance on navigating the diagnostic process, accessing educational resources, or finding support services, our team is here to help every step of the way. We balance evidence-based practices with the voices of those with lived experience. We collaborate with professionals and neurodivergent advocates to ensure that services are informed by the latest research, thinking, and best practices.
Our Understanding of Neurodiversity
“Neurodiversity is natural. It is the very basis of life itself. We are all different and this is universally accepted.”
Paul Davies (In The Neurodiversity Reader: Exploring Concepts, Lived Experience and Implications for Practice. (2020) Eds. Murray, Milton, Ridout, Martin, and Mills)
Autistic people and those with ADHD experience the world in a unique way, often reflected by their own set of skills and abilities, styles of communication, and ways of interacting. We understand autism and ADHD as forms of neurodivergence and take a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We accept and value people’s differences and do not consider them as deficits or impairments. The purpose of assessment is to explore individual differences and how they impact everyday life.
