We had a fantastic experience having our child assessed for Autism and ADHD. The staff were friendly and knew exactly how to help us best.

We were well advised and never felt like we were on a conveyor belt.

The report we've been given is detailed and exactly what we need to work better with school and gives us what we need to function better at home too. Thank you Autism North East - you're God sent!
