Welcome to Autism Kent 

Welcome to Autism Kent. We are a small team of clinical psychologists and speech and language therapists, based in Whitstable, Kent. We specialise in neuroaffirmative diagnostic assessments and post-diagnosis support for young people and adults. 

Autism Kent provides:

• High quality, fully comprehensive autism diagnostic assessments using "gold standard" assessment tools for adults and young people (age 10 and over).
• Adult ADHD diagnostic assessments and young person ADHD assessments.   
• A multidisciplinary team approach - we are a team of experienced clinicians, offering a streamlined service from start to finish. 
• Compliance with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.
• Reports recognised by the NHS and other statutory organisations. 
• Extensive experience and expertise in assessing girls and women. 
• Post diagnosis support / therapy.

We realise that an assessment can be a daunting process, so please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to make the process more comfortable for you. 

If you are wondering whether an autism or ADHD assessment is right for you or your young person, or if you do not require a formal diagnosis, as an alternative option we provide a neurodivergence consultation, whereby you will be sent a set of screening measures to complete and be asked to attend a consultation with one of our clinical psychologists. The neurodivergence consultation will consider traits related to autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions, as well as symptoms such as anxiety and depression. The consultation will include recommendations, which may indicate the need for a full diagnostic assessment, or may conclude that this is not necessary. This option will help you weigh up the pros and cons of a full assessment. 

For face-to-face appointments we are in Whitstable, Kent, which is within easy reach of Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay, Maidstone, Medway, Ashford, Sittingbourne, Thanet, Dover and Deal. We also offer online consultations. Please contact us for further information or to arrange an initial consultation on 01227 656953 or at info@autismkent.co.uk.
