British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi provides comprehensive assessment and support for children, teenagers and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our multidisciplinary team helps families understand each person’s strengths and needs, and builds a personalised plan to support communication, behaviour and independence.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect attention, activity levels, and impulse control. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can influence social communication, interaction, sensory processing, and patterns of behaviour. Both conditions vary from person to person and may present differently across childhood and adulthood.
A comprehensive assessment can help clarify an individual’s strengths, needs, and appropriate support options.
Signs of autism usually appear in early childhood and vary widely from person to person. These signs alone do not establish a diagnosis; a professional assessment is needed to understand each person’s strengths and needs.
Difficulty with back-and-forth conversation, eye contact, gestures, or understanding others’ feelings.
Delayed speech, repeating words or phrases, or an unusual tone or rhythm of speaking.
Repeated movements such as hand-flapping or rocking, or lining up objects in the same way.
A strong preference for sameness, and distress with small changes in daily routine.
Over- or under-reacting to sounds, lights, textures, tastes or smells.
Intense interest in specific topics or objects, often with strong attention to detail.
A professional assessment considers a person’s developmental history, communication, social interaction, behaviour and daily functioning. Depending on age, it may involve clinical interviews, structured observation, standardised developmental and psychological measures, and input from parents and teachers.
Support is tailored to each person’s needs and may include behavioural interventions, communication and social skills development, parent training and guidance, and practical recommendations for home and school. Where appropriate, care may involve coordination with speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychiatry and neurology.
Early assessment and support can make a meaningful difference, helping each child build skills and reach their full potential.
Our autism services may involve collaboration across relevant specialties, including speech and occupational therapy, depending on each person’s needs. Explore our related services to learn more about assessment and care options.
