Frequently asked questions

Is this service part of the NHS?

We’re private healthcare, separate from NHS Grampian. NHS autism assessment in the Aberdeen area has significant waiting times. We offer timely access to evaluation. 

Will my GP accept your report?

Our reports are written so the GPs and other professionals involved in your care can use them. Assessments use recognised diagnostic tools such as ADOS-2 and follow SIGN 145, the national clinical guideline for autism in Scotland. This helps ensure the findings are widely recognised. 

If a GP or NHS service prefers to apply their own criteria before acting on a private diagnosis, we’re happy to coordinate directly with your practice to keep things joined up. 

What support is available after diagnosis?

After your diagnosis, we offer post-diagnostic support as an additional, specialist-led service. It’s built around you, with personalised one-to-one online sessions that help you understand your diagnosis, learn practical tools, manage everyday challenges and build confidence and self-awareness. It’s available for adults, teenagers and children, with guidance for parents and carers, so there’s no need to start over with someone new. 

We can also point you towards other sources of help, including North East Scotland autism services, local support networks and relevant resources in the Aberdeen area. 

Is the process confidential?

Yes, completely. We’re fully GDPR compliant. Your assessment information is handled securely and remains confidential, and is never shared with anyone else without your consent. 

Avoid long NHS waiting times and get the support you need sooner. Book your private online autism assessment with Xyla and take the next step with a trusted provider for autism assessments in Bristol.
