testimonials
Simply the best report (and overall experience) we have had from any professionals we have come in to contact with (and there have been many). The report is packed full of brilliant, positive and supportive advice and hand-picked neuro-affirming resources to help our family. It’s been a wonderful experience

I have had some time now to read and absorb the report you sent me. I was impressed by how you observed and understood me and I feel that it gave a very accurate representation of who I am… and was. I had been concerned that the report may have shown my ‘performing’ self and was worried in case I had exaggerated things. This was not the case. It really did sound like me.

Chris and Sue are really easy people to talk to and despite feeling nervous initially, I felt quickly at ease with them. This helped immensely throughout the assessment process. Their approach allowed me to discover my autistic identity in a positive and affirming way

I honestly didn’t believe we would get anywhere as I thought she would shut down, and I had no idea how you were going to even attempt an ADOS on a 5-year-old. You were so brilliant, and it was a joy to watch someone so good at their job – I worked in the NHS for 20+ years, and I’ve never seen anyone do such a professional, kind, engaging and thorough assessment.

Our son has been using your words, and telling everyone he is ‘marvelously autistic’!

When you suggested we learn from the autistic community, you set our family off on a path that has completely transformed our lives and we are eternally grateful for that. The autistic advocate community I work with talk a lot about ‘ripples’ – you are both sending out some very strong, very impactful waves I’d say.

Irrespective of the fact that I hope one day people will no longer be ‘diagnosed’ autistic whilst we are still bound to that system I am so grateful you do it in the ‘right’ way. A way that validates and celebrates the child in front of you and shields families from much of the harmful and incorrect narrative.

Pebble Autism
Compassionate and skilled
The team were thorough and took the time to explain everything clearly. They were kind, patient, compassionate, understanding, skilled and helped both my daughter and I feel calm and relaxed throughout. We are both very grateful for the care and professionalism that they showed throughout and would highly recommend them.
Highly recommended service
I would highly recommend using Pebble Autism. I was very apprehensive about find an autism assessment service for my 20 year old daughter. The websites I look at came across as very clinical and impersonal. However, then I found Pebble Autism. Their website comes across with warmth and understanding and I just felt we would be in safe hands, and I was right. Both Chris and Sue are extremely professional, respectful and and knowledgeable but also demonstrate a lot of understanding, warmth and compassion. They seemed to really get my daughter and got her to engage much more than I expected. They made the whole process as stress free and relaxed as possible, and I felt they genuinely cared and wanted the best for my daughter. Their communication was excellent throughout and the report was extremely helpful. They also provided a lot of information in the appendices which was tailored to our needs. I thank them both for their understanding and support through this process.

Parent of two children who have been assessed by Pebbles Autism: Could not rate the service Sue and Chris provided highly enough. From start to finish it was outstanding. The school have commented that the reports generated after the assessment have been the most detailed report they had ever been sent. I have referred back to it many times Thank you again
