As the leaders in offering Counselling in Edinburgh, we also offer Autism Assessment and Diagnosis in Edinburgh. My Solution Wellbeing has developed a gold standard pathway for assessing and diagnosing Autism. There is no waiting list and we get started straight away.
Autism is a ‘neurodevelopmental’ disorder. With understanding, care and holistic treatment people with Autism can be successfully supported to improve their quality of life. Children and Adults with autism may experience difficulties with:
- Language and Communication
- Social Communication and Interaction
- Specialist Interest Fixations
- Repetitive Restrictive behaviours
- Executive Functioning
- Masking and Compensation
- Sensory Issues
- Emotional Dysregulation
- Changes in Routine and Transitions
- Strengths (eg learning in detail and remember information for long periods of time, being strong visual and auditory learners, excelling in math, science, music, or art)
Your 4 Phase Journey with My Solution Wellbeing
Phase 1: Medical History and Screening (£300)
We gather family, medical and neurodevelopmental history through our standardised questionnaires during the screening process.
Then we meet you for a feedback session for around 60 mins (face to face or online) where we gather additional information and go through the findings of the questionnaires and decide next steps.
If the decision is to continue with the autism pathway, we continue with the next phase in the pathway.
Phase 2. Interview on developmental history (Autism Diagnostic Interview) (£1900) 180 minutes
This is an online Interview between yourself, a clinician and someone who knows you well, such as a family member or close friend. This session will focus on discussing your experiences during childhood and as an adult including social interactions, language, communication, and repetitive behaviours. For children, this will be with parents/carers.
Phase 3. Communication and Social Interaction Assessment
(Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2)
This is an In-Person Assessment and lasts around 120 minutes.
Phase 4: Diagnosis, Feedback and Treatment Pathway

You will meet a Psychiatrist, or a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, for a 50-minute appointment who will assess whether you meet the criteria for an Autism diagnosis and may ask you further questions. Treatment plans can then be discussed at an additional cost. A comprehensive report will follow with next steps and recommendations.
