    Feedback, Report & Support

    Your clinicians bring the evidence together, discuss the outcome in a feedback call and provide your report within 14 days of that call, with access to the Raiys app.

    CLINICAL CONVERSATIONS

    Two Perspectives, One Picture

    ADI-R · Your Informant

    Around 120 minutes by telephone with a specialist clinician and someone who knows you well, ideally someone who knew you as a child. The conversation explores early development, communication, routines and sensory experiences.

    ACIA-S · Your Interview

    A 60-minute conversation with a second specialist clinician, centred on your own perspective. Explore education, work, everyday life, interests, strengths and wellbeing, with breaks whenever you need them.

    Two Perspectives, One Picture

    The two clinicians look at your questionnaires together with both interviews: the ACIA with you, and the ADI-R with someone who knows you well. They then reach their decision using the DSM-5 criteria. Your feedback call is your chance to discuss the outcome and ask questions.

    WHAT WE EXPLORE

    Your Story, In Your Words

    Autism is lifelong, and many adults have spent years adapting or masking. Hearing from you and someone who has known you over time helps us understand more than a snapshot.

    Development & Everyday Life

    Early experiences, education, work or learning, and the routines of everyday life.

    Communication & Connection

    Communication, friendships, relationships and how social situations feel.

    Routine & Predictability

    Structure, sameness, transitions and patterns that help with regulation.

    Sensory Experiences

    Sound, light, touch, taste, smell and movement, including what feels enjoyable or overwhelming.

    Interests & Passions

    The things that bring joy, comfort, confidence and a sense of identity.

    Wellbeing & Strengths

    Health, sleep and other differences, alongside strengths and what helps you or your child thrive.

    Strengths come first. Understanding a person is about far more than challenges.

    POST-DIAGNOSTIC CARE

    Support Beyond The Report

    Whatever the outcome, your report explains the evidence, your strengths, support needs and personalised recommendations. Access to the Raiys app provides clinically designed wellbeing tools for work, study and everyday life.
