We had a very disappointing experience with this clinic. Despite extensive parent input, teacher observations, and a paediatrician referral noting concerns for autism, our child was told she did not meet criteria. The report itself contained multiple contradictions, including a high ADOS score and documented autistic traits that were ultimately dismissed. Since then, she has been reassessed and has now received a clear diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, with the diagnosing psychologist expressing confusion at the original outcome. Communication was also poor. We experienced long delays, had to chase follow ups and the report repeatedly, and the referring paediatrician was never sent the report at all. The process was costly, emotionally exhausting, and delayed our child receiving appropriate support which had led to a serious decline in her mental health and well being over the past year. Based on our experience and what appears to be a pattern for others, I would urge families to seek second opinions, particularly for girls who mask. Update: I have emailed the below email address on 12/2/26 and look forward to the response.

This place was incredible, the wait list to get my daughter's assessment done wasn't long at all and def worth the money then waiting through public which would of taken years. All staff were helpful kind and professional.

I would like to thank Dr Kelly for not only diagnosing my son but also point out to me that he might also have schizophrenia and referring him on the referral was treated like a joke at CAMHS but it open my eye to the possibilities that it could be and I did the research so I new a little bit about what to look out for well turns out Kody is now 19 and now has a diagnosis of schizophrenia and I believe with out U point this out it would have gone untreated for years and destroyed he's brain so a big thank for the great work that you do 👌😊

This place was such a massive disappointment and devastating for my child we felt so uncomfortable,judged, dismissed and unheard literally not heard would be asked can you concentrate ? Responded yes very well but find things hard to understand at times their response so you can't concentrate then ?seemed determined to diagnose ADHD if at all possible which my child is the opposite in all aspects .Left with a inconclusive findings go treat anxiety etc come back after all that dealt with if like to do further investigation we can't say yes or no at this point but you received this assessment free anyway told by the man there who was cold and condescending ,what the hell ?. Thankyou for wasting our time and we will obviously have to find proper specialist to evaluate and my child now feels like whole life unheard and dismissed they actually at time sniggered in testing and when I as a mother left with my daughter and I heard them whispering and laughing it was so sad we where in shock .This place will take you on with their own made time line and testing then tell you how do you expect us to find sufficient results in a two hour assessment. Please go elsewhere for testing unless high on spectrum I don't want others going through this process and fallout .

Connecting with this service has been the best decision for my child. The staff are beyond amazing! They are understanding, considerate and patient. They actually care about the kids they support. We intend to stay at this service as long as we can.

Once handing in my documentation I was informed I would receive a response in 8-10 weeks with an outcome of whether I’d be taken on as a patient due to wait times, which I understand, but tomorrow will be 20 weeks and nothing. I have called just about weekly since the 15 week mark and keep being told they’ll “pass on the message” yet I still have not been contacted. They also said they’d go above the receptionist at the Youth Clinic because I’d had no response and again absolutely nothing since that call 2 weeks ago. Same lack of response with emails, incredibly frustrating. *EDIT* it has now been 27 weeks and still no news about an appointment!

Have rang this group to speak to the manager 3 weeks ago only to be told that they are busy and was asked to leave contact number. Left phone number and. Still have not had a return phone call. Why does it take so long to have any interaction with this service! Have called twice now and have had same answer from reception that being that the manager is to busy to discuss matters or take phone calls
