Autism Assessment
Specialist adult autism assessment at Cardinal Clinic, Windsor. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation by experienced clinicians.
About this condition
Many adults go through life feeling different, struggling with aspects of social communication and sensory experience, without understanding why. An autism assessment can provide clarity, self-understanding, and access to appropriate support. Cardinal Clinic offers comprehensive adult autism assessments conducted by clinicians with specialist expertise in autism spectrum conditions.
Conditions We Treat
We provide specialist assessment and treatment for the full range of conditions in this area, including:
Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
A neurodevelopmental condition affecting social communication, interaction, and flexibility of thinking and behaviour.
Late-Diagnosed Autism
Many adults — particularly women and those who have learned to mask their difficulties — are not diagnosed until adulthood.
Autism with Co-occurring Conditions
Autism frequently co-occurs with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
Autism in Women
Autism presents differently in women and is significantly under-diagnosed. Our assessments account for the female phenotype.

A significant proportion of autistic individuals also have ADHD — we can assess for both conditions.
