Specialist autism and neurodevelopmental assessment for complex, high-functioning, high-masking, nuanced, and diagnostically uncertain presentations.
When the picture has never quite fitted, clarity can change everything. Every assessment is personally conducted by Dr Sonya Makhmood to understand the individual beyond the diagnosis and provide confident, personalised recommendations for meaningful long-term outcomes.
Many families recognise differences long before they receive answers. Our role is to provide the clinical clarity that explains those differences.
Every assessment moves beyond diagnosis to understand the neurodevelopmental systems shaping the individual’s presentation, creating a clear foundation for personalised recommendations and long-term support.
✓ High-masking autism
✓ Girls and women
✓ Late-identified adolescents and adults

No single assessment defines an individual. Clinical clarity comes from integrating multiple sources of evidence into one comprehensive formulation.
• Have received conflicting opinions
• Have remained undiagnosed despite significant difficulties
• Suspect autism alongside ADHD or other neurodevelopmental differences
• Want greater clarity before planning intervention
• Require comprehensive documentation for healthcare or education
