Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that influences how individuals experience and interact with the world.

Understanding autism
Present in every individual, differently
Autistic people may experience differences in social communication, sensory processing, routines, interests and information processing.
Autism presents differently in every individual, and many people develop strategies to adapt to social expectations. For some, this means that difficulties are not obvious to others, even when everyday life feels effortful.
Common experiences
What autistic people often describe
These experiences are not exclusive to autism, and they do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
Differences in social communication and interaction
Sensitivity to sounds, lighting, textures or other sensory experiences
Preference for familiar routines and predictability
Deep or highly focused interests
Differences in interpreting social situations
Feeling overwhelmed in certain environments
Our planned service
Specialist autism assessment, delivered with care
Havilah Minds intends to develop a specialist autism assessment pathway delivered by appropriately qualified and experienced autism clinicians.
Our aim is to provide clear, clinically informed outcomes and individualised recommendations that help people understand their experiences and consider the support that may be right for them.
This service is planned as part of our future development. It will be introduced once the appropriate professional, operational and regulatory arrangements are in place.
What assessments will consider
- Developmental history and early experiences
- Communication and social interaction
- Sensory experiences and processing differences
- Current functioning across home, work and education
- Relevant supporting information from others
