About This Service

At Makewell, we offer compassionate, gold-standard autism assessments for adults and children aged 3 and over. Our neurodivergent-affirming team takes the time to understand you or your child in a calm, sensory-aware environment.

We also offer combined Autism and ADHD assessments for those who would like both explored together. All assessments take place at our clinic in Milton Keynes, with an online option available for adults.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world. It is a spectrum — meaning it presents differently in every individual.

Many autistic people have unique strengths, including attention to detail, deep focus on areas of interest, and creative thinking. An assessment helps you or your child understand these differences and access the right support.

Your assessment includes:

  • Pre-assessment questionnaires and developmental history
  • A face-to-face clinical assessment at our Milton Keynes clinic
  • Multi-clinician review of your case
  • Provisional results discussed by phone within approximately 1 week
  • A comprehensive written report within 8 weeks
  • Letters for school, employer, or GP as needed

Our clinic is set within 12 acres of open parkland at Bradwell Abbey in Milton Keynes. We understand that clinical environments can feel overwhelming, so we have designed our assessment rooms to be calm, quiet, and sensory-aware.

  • Free parking with space for 150 cars
  • Green spaces to decompress before or after your appointment
  • Makewell horses onsite for calming visits
  • Neurodivergent-trained staff throughout

After your assessment, we will contact you by phone within approximately one week to share provisional results. Your full written report will follow within 8 weeks.

If a diagnosis is confirmed, we can help with onward referrals, shared care agreements with your GP for medication, and signposting to relevant support services.
