Help towards a diagnosis of Autism, Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and/or ADHD or Atypical Autism, and PDA also known as EDA.

As featured in Very Late Diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome (ASD), by Philip Wylie, JKP, 2014, Sara is aware that it can often be frustrating, difficult or expensive for an adult to gain a medical diagnosis of autism, Asperger syndrome, Pathological Demand Avoidance and/or ADHD due to a lack of insight or understanding of the conditions from many health care professionals. Sara Heath, Autonomy’s well trusted Specialist Practitioner, can facilitate this process through her extensive experience of working with over 300 clients with autistic spectrum disorders and supporting over 110 people through the diagnostic process. Sara will assess you and will provide you with an in-depth, comprehensive, non medical, pre-diagnostic assessment of autism, Asperger syndrome, PDA, and/or ADHD with a written report for your doctor or health professional if required, or a comprehensive personalised report of your condition if you prefer not to proceed with a medical diagnosis. Due to her extensive experience, Sara is also able to recognise the often hidden traits of the very late diagnosed especially women with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD or PDA who find it more difficult to gain a diagnosis. (*Fees available on request.) Sara can also assess children with the conditions.
