🧩 Autism & ADHD Assessments for Adolescents (Ages 13–18)
🌱 Why Assessment Matters in the Teen YearsAdolescence is a time of huge change — emotionally, socially, and neurologically. For some young people, neurodiverse traits like difficulty with focus, emotional regulation, social interaction, or sensory overload may become more noticeable or harder to manage.
These struggles often go unrecognised, leaving teens feeling confused, frustrated, or different. A quality assessment can provide clarity, support, and a way forward.
🧠 Our ApproachAt Therapeutic Support Services, we offer high-quality diagnostic assessments for Autism and ADHD in adolescents and young adults.
Our approach is:
• Clinically up-to-date
• Developmentally appropriate
• Tailored to the individual
We understand the unique challenges of this life stage and assess with care, curiosity, and respect.
📚 Trusted, Gold-Standard ToolsAll assessments follow a comprehensive, evidence-based process that meets:
• NICE guidelines
• Royal College of Psychiatrists’ best practice
• NHS-recognised tools
We use structured tools like:
• ADOS-2
• Conners 4
• WISC-V UK
• SNAP-IV
• DIVA-5
Our reports are widely accepted and can help unlock:
• Academic support
• Exam adjustments
• University/college support plans
• Workplace accommodations
• Therapeutic and wellbeing services
🔍 What to ExpectEvery assessment is individualised. We look at the whole person, including:
• Age and developmental history
• Gender identity and neurodivergent experience
• Communication style and self-understanding
The process typically includes:
• Introductory consultation (with adolescent and, if appropriate, their parent/carer)
• Social and developmental history
• Standardised diagnostic tools
• Feedback from school, college, or university
• Multidisciplinary input if needed
💛 A Respectful, Empowering ExperienceWe know that the process can feel overwhelming — especially for teens and young adults who’ve spent years masking or feeling misunderstood.
That’s why our approach is:
• Warm and respectful
• Trauma-sensitive
• Person-centred
We aim to offer not just answers — but understanding, validation, and real-life recommendations.
🌟 Why Diagnosis Can Make a Difference a clear diagnosis at this age can help with:
• Academic support and accommodations
• Better relationships at home and school
• Improved mental wellbeing
• Self-identity and advocacy skills
• Planning for future education and employment
