When I had my autism assessment I had to fill in the relevant forms however when I told my autism support group the video call assessment was only scheduled as an hour long they said that's definitely not long enough for a proper assessment so it's probably the first of many. The assessment was very basic with stereotypical questions however because I didn't know what was going to be asked and I was very nervous my mind kept going blank; there was so much more I could have added and a lot I missed out on saying. The assessment was very short and didn't go into any depth or detail, for someone who automatically masks when first meeting people it wasn't long enough for the mask to fall and because the assessment was fast and condensed it felt like a speed round of questions so I couldn't go into great detail. If the questions were given out prior to the assessment I would have been able to create notes so my mind didn't go blank and so many things wouldn't have been missed from the assessment. Personally it feels like a money grab especially given there are no feedback notes afterwards. I personally wouldn't recommend Psychiatry-UK for an assessment to anyone as I don't feel they are organised enough and the assessments are very rushed and no way near as extensive as others described by autistics in the UK who had theirs with the NHS.

I really felt heard and understood by Dr Samuel Yates. I was scared about going through an assessment but the whole process was made easier by PUK and by Dr Yates himself. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing to use this service.

I’m not satisfied with the assessment I had. I had to fill in loads of forms to which I was highly overwhelmed by and struggled with and therefore rushed through. I did not feel I had enough time to speak about all of my challenges in full detail in the meeting. I was told I had some traits of autism however I was not diagnosed. After looking at dsm-5 I feel that I touch most points however I wasn’t able to communicate my struggles with all of these in this assessment which I believe lead to not receiving a diagnosis and therefore have been left feeling helpless.

Having just had my consultation, and I'm really happy to recommend Psychiatry UK. The wait was long but that is beyond their control, and monthly contact reminds you that you are not forgotten. The consultation itself was both professional and empathetic. Even though there is a lot to discuss, I felt at ease and really listened to. Do not hesitate to use them.

Dr Gosai was very kind and understanding of my needs and questions. He listened and provided great care. Similarly, Sarah Purchase has been great for my prescription questions and requests, always replying and answering in a timely manner. Excellent all round care.
