NHS Adult Autism Assessments

Patients in Rotherham can now self-refer into the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) service without the need to see a GP.


“What is the ASD service?”

The Rotherham adult autism diagnostic service (RAADS) offers diagnostic assessments for autism spectrum disorder to residents aged 18 and above in the Rotherham area.

Following an autism diagnosis, patients can attend short-term follow-up sessions to receive assistance with the following:

  • Adjustment to autism diagnosis
  • Education around diagnosis
  • Working with employers and services to make reasonable adjustments
  • Sensory assessment
  • Signposting to services that offer further support

 

“How can I request an ASD assessment?”

Complete the self-referral form provided by RDaSH Neurodiversity Service.
