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

Treatment plans can then be discussed at an additional cost. A comprehensive report will follow with next steps and recommendations.
