How to Get an Autism Diagnosis

Please Note:

The Oxfordshire Adult Autism Diagnostic Service is NOT open to adults who are under the care of:

  • Community Learning Disability Team (CLDT)

 

There is a different route for referral for adults who are under the care of:

  • Adult Mental Health Team (AMHT) 

 

Second opinions

We sometimes get requests for second opinions. These are normally from people who have undergone an autism assessment, either at OAADSS or through another autism service, and do not agree with the diagnosis.

We will only offer a second opinion when new and compelling information is presented – normally this means extra developmental or collateral history from a health professional or close relative.

In these cases, please contact the AMHT or CLDT for advice on autism diagnostic assessments.
