The Autism Centre

The Autism Centre is a family-founded autism assessment service based in Bridgend, South Wales, supporting children, young people and adults across the UK. Informed by lived experience of autism and clinical expertise, the organisation aims to make assessment thorough, compassionate and respectful of each person’s individual experience. It views autism as a natural and valuable variation in human neurology, and seeks to help people gain clarity, self-understanding and useful guidance on what to do next.

The centre provides private autism assessments and diagnostic services, including support for people with more complex presentations. Assessments are available through secure remote video consultations and face-to-face appointments at its Bridgend clinic, which is accessible from locations including Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bristol and the Midlands. The service is designed to explain the process clearly and provide individuals and families with an understanding of the outcome and potential next steps. The Autism Centre also works with eligible NHS and local authority commissioners, offering additional assessment capacity for children, young people and adults through its appointment to the National Framework Agreement for Autism and ADHD Assessment Services.
