Autism is more than a diagnosis; it is a fundamental way of experiencing, processing, and connecting with the world.
This hub is designed to be a space to find resources that respect your autonomy, validate your needs, and support your right to live authentically.
Autism tests and assessments
Realising that your brain processes the world differently isn’t just about a label; it’s about finally finding the manual for how you work.
Autism assessments at Priory explained
Whether you’ve always felt "different," are beginning to recognise common signs, or want to support someone you care about, these resources are designed to help you bridge the gap between questioning and clarity about diagnosis.
We know that the journey to understanding autism can often feel slow and isolating, especially when facing the reality of years-long waitlists. This space is built to provide the information, tools, and professional care you need to move forward today.
How autism presents in different genders
Autistic traits often manifest differently across genders. For example, many girls and women become experts at "masking" their traits to fit in, which can look very different from the signs commonly seen in boys.
Exploring these links will help you recognise how autism uniquely influences behaviour and social interaction.
Autism can occur alongside other conditions, which may influence symptoms, diagnosis, and support needs. Recognising these links helps ensure a more accurate understanding and better-informed care.
Specialist services
In addition to private autism services, Priory collaborates with the NHS and local authorities to offer specialist inpatient autism support through our nationwide network of dedicated hospitals.
Our complete care pathways span medium and low secure services, rehabilitation and recovery (R&R) services, and community rehabilitation. We also provide community-based services, including residential services and supported living accommodations, tailored for autistic adults. These services can be funded via the NHS or local authorities.
Please note, we are unable to provide access to our private services through NHS or local authority funding.
