I had been researching the right clinician for my autism assessment and Dr Sam Yates was absolutely the right choice. I was fortunate to be able to gain a referral from my GP via Right to Choose.
He was hugely responsive before the actual appointment and made sure I knew about the tonics we would cover, the likely timings and the process from referral to completion.
It was easy to unmask and be myself and I felt heard and validated. My diagnosis has been such a reaffirming experience and at no point did I feel Dr Yates considered autism to be a negative thing.
The screening for other possible conditions was revealing and I have plenty of recommendations to take away and explore.
Forever grateful
