Every NeuroFX adult autism assessment follows the NICE CG142-aligned ADOS-2 plus ADI-R protocol, delivered in person at our Bedford clinic. Autism assessments are not offered online because ADOS-2 requires in-person observation.

Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner & Independent Prescriber (NISP)
Every NeuroFX autism assessment is conducted personally by Tina. 15 years of specialist mental health nursing experience and extensive neurodiversity specialist care, having conducted hundreds of ADHD and autism assessments. Tina is also an independent prescriber and an advanced specialist paediatric sleep practitioner. Assessments and prescribing follow NICE CG142 (autism in adults).
For Aylesbury patients in particular, autism assessment is multidisciplinary by design. Tina leads your assessment and report; Cheyenne Contreras, NeuroFX's specialist ADOS-2 practitioner, co-conducts the ADOS-2 observation. After the session both clinicians attend the internal MDT case review before your follow-up video call. Meet Cheyenne on the About page →
Aylesbury patients are seen in person at our Bedford clinic. This service is in-person only because it requires direct clinical observation or measurement that video cannot replicate.
Bedford Consulting Rooms on Goldington Road is a calm, residential-style space, not a hospital. Pay and display car park immediately next door (1 minute walk). Central rail station 8 minutes walk.
You are served clinically by NHS Thames Valley ICB. A private NeuroFX assessment is typically 6 to 8 weeks (next available soon).
Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, served by Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust gained approval in March 2026 for a new £9.8m therapies and outpatients building. For children and young people, NHS autism and ADHD assessment runs through the Oxford Health CAMHS Buckinghamshire neurodevelopmental team, which reports that referrals have nearly doubled since June 2024 even as it more than doubled the number of young people assessed each month in 2025, while Buckinghamshire Council describes the neurodevelopmental waiting list as currently over two years.
NHS planning for the area also changed on 1 April 2026, when NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB) ICB closed and its responsibilities passed to the new NHS Thames Valley ICB; before it closed, BOB ICB stated it had budgeted £3 million for Right to Choose assessments against provider estimates of up to £11 million. NeuroFX offers private ADHD and autism assessment alongside this NHS care, never as a replacement for it, and Buckinghamshire Council confirms that a private assessment does not affect a child's position on the NHS waiting list.
If shared care matters to you, we recommend speaking to your GP before booking, as any shared-care arrangement remains at the GP's sole discretion. Local support is also available through charities such as Talkback and Autism Bucks, and through the Buckinghamshire All-Age Autism Strategy 2025 to 2030.
Adult autism services commissioned via this ICB. Right to Choose is available to some patients in this area.
Figures reflect the trust's own published service page at time of last review. Re-check before relying on it for any decision.
Autism has no NICE-recommended pharmacological treatment, so the conversations after diagnosis are different to ADHD. Here is what to expect for Aylesbury patients.
Right to Choose lets eligible patients pick any NHS-contracted provider. For autism specifically, the list of RTC providers is shorter than for ADHD, and most published waits are still measured in years.
NeuroFX is a fully private autism assessment outside the RTC framework. We can be quicker (typically 6 to 8 weeks), but you pay the fee directly.
There is no NICE-recommended pharmacological treatment for autism itself. After diagnosis we focus on:
Onward signposting: Aylesbury community autism services, the National Autistic Society's local peer network, and any free workshops or peer-led groups in the area.
Workplace and study evidence: Your report is designed for DSA applications and Equality Act 2010 reasonable adjustment requests.
Co-occurring conditions: If ADHD is also suspected, we book a separate adult ADHD assessment, which can be added at the £950 top-up rate.

Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire and sits in the Vale of Aylesbury -- a broad, flat agricultural landscape that gives the town an openness unusual this close to London. The town centre has some fine Georgian architecture around the Market Square, and the County Museum holds a remarkable collection including the original Roald Dahl story gallery, reflecting the fact that Dahl lived and wrote nearby for most of his adult life.
Aylesbury has grown considerably as a commuter town while retaining a real centre life, and the ongoing Waterside development around the canal is adding a new dimension to a town that has always been more interesting than its reputation suggests.
This page is for Aylesbury, Buckingham, Winslow, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Thame, Tring, Wendover, Princes Risborough and surrounding villages.Schools, universities, employers and parent-carer networks in the Aylesbury area all have routes you can use, some free, all helpful while you wait or after a diagnosis.
For children and young people in this area, the LEA is Buckinghamshire Council. Your child's SENCO is the right first call about how a private assessment is used in an EHCP application or annual review.
Our reports are designed to support DSA applications and Equality Act 2010 reasonable-adjustment requests at universities, colleges and employers in the area.
