Quick Self-Check
Late-Diagnosed Autism Is More Common Than You Think
Many autistic adults spend years masking traits, adapting so well that no one, including themselves, suspects autism. A private questionnaire can offer some initial clarity.
A few minutes, several questions, no obligation. This isn’t a diagnosis; it simply indicates whether a full assessment might be worth pursuing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can autism be diagnosed in adulthood?
Yes. Many autistic adults are diagnosed later in life, often after years of managing traits without realising the underlying cause.
Does an autism diagnosis mean something needs to be fixed?
No. Autism reflects a different way of experiencing the world, and assessment focuses on understanding and support, not correction.
Is medication part of autism treatment?
Autism itself isn’t treated with medication, though it may be used to manage co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or ADHD.
What happens after a diagnostic assessment?
You’ll receive a detailed report along with practical recommendations and, where relevant, referrals for additional support services.
