What Is an Online Autism Assessment?
An online autism assessment involves some or all assessment appointments taking place remotely rather than at a clinic. Depending on the provider, this may include video appointments, questionnaires, developmental history and information from other people where appropriate.
Not every provider uses the same process. Some services may be delivered predominantly online, while others combine remote appointments with face-to-face elements. Before booking, check exactly how the provider carries out the assessment and whether any part requires travel to a clinic.
How Does an Online Autism Assessment Work?
The exact process varies between providers, but a remote or partly remote assessment may involve stages such as these.
Initial information or referral
The provider gathers information about the person seeking an assessment and confirms whether its service is appropriate.
Questionnaires and background information
Information may be gathered about current experiences and developmental history.
Remote appointments
One or more appointments may take place by secure video call, depending on the provider's process.
Additional information where appropriate
For some assessments this may include information from a parent, carer, family member or education setting.
Clinical consideration and outcome
The professionals involved consider the information gathered.
Feedback and report
The provider explains the outcome and, where applicable, provides a written report.
This is a general overview only. The assessment process varies between providers and according to individual circumstances.

Online autism assessments for adults, children and young people
Online Autism Assessments for Adults
Some providers offer online autism assessment appointments for adults living anywhere in Wales. This can increase the range of services available to people who do not live near a specialist clinic or who would prefer remote appointments.
Provider processes vary. Some may request developmental information from someone who knew the person earlier in life where this is available and appropriate, while others may gather background information in different ways.
Online Autism Assessments for Children & Young People
Some providers offer remote elements as part of autism assessments for children and young people. The process can differ from adult assessment and may involve parents or carers and, where appropriate, information from the child's education setting.
Do not assume that a provider offering online adult assessments necessarily offers the same assessment format for children. Check the individual provider's age range and assessment process before booking.
How Much Does an Online Autism Assessment Cost?
Fees vary between providers and an online service is not necessarily cheaper than a face-to-face assessment. The price can depend on the assessment process, age, professionals involved and what is included.
When comparing prices, check whether the quoted fee includes all appointments, feedback, the written report and any follow-up offered by the provider.
Online Autism Assessment Waiting Times
Online services can give people in Wales access to providers outside their immediate area, but this does not mean that every online provider will have short waiting times. Availability varies between services and can change according to demand.
Autism Support Wales displays typical provider waiting-time information where it is available. Confirm current availability directly with the provider before booking.
Accessing Online Autism Assessments from Wales
Online assessment options can be particularly useful in Wales because specialist private services are not distributed evenly across the country. Someone living in a rural area or a considerable distance from a clinic may be able to consider providers that would otherwise require significant travel.
However, location can still matter. Providers may have geographical restrictions, and some assessment processes may include face-to-face appointments. Check that the service is available to people living in your part of Wales before making an enquiry. Provider profiles show the areas each service has told us it covers.

View providersOnline vs Face-to-Face Autism Assessment
| Online / remote | Face-to-face | |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | May reduce or remove travel for remote appointments | Requires travel to a clinic or service location |
| Provider choice | Can make providers outside the local area accessible | Usually limited by practical travelling distance |
| Environment | Appointments may take place from home | Appointments take place in a clinical or service setting |
| Assessment format | Varies; may be fully or partly remote | Delivered in person, although some supporting stages may still be remote |
| Suitable for everyone? | Depends on individual circumstances and provider process | Depends on individual circumstances and provider process |
Neither format is automatically the right choice for everyone. Ask the provider how its assessment is delivered and whether that approach is appropriate for your circumstances.
