The Autism Assessment and Behavioural Genetics Clinic is a national, specialist service based at the Maudsley Hospital.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related disorders are lifelong neurodevelopmental conditions. However, they are often under-recognised in adults, particularly in adolescents, females and older adults.

We pioneered the development of specialist services for assessment and treatment of ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders in adults.

We have over 20 years of experience in the development and delivery of diagnostics and specially adapted interventions and therapies for adults with ASD. We use gold-standard assessments and treatments in our work with patients and families. At least 50 percent of patients referred to us have undiagnosed additional mental health difficulties; the identification of these is critical to a patient's well-being.

Our evidence-based service provides assessment and treatment for people with:

• Suspected or diagnosed ASD, including autism and Asperger's syndrome.
• ASD and additional mental health problems, including obsessive compulsive disorder, psychosis, depression and anxiety.
• Suspected chromosomal abnormalities or single gene disorders, including 22q deletion and fragile X syndrome.
• ASD and behaviour that challenges.
• Other behavioural phenotypes of significant genetic origin.

We offer a one-stop appointment to all outpatients who require diagnostic assessment. This includes feedback on the day, which is particularly useful for those who travel long distances.

Our team includes internationally renowned clinicians. Our staff hold the world's biggest grant for research into autism and have won the NHS Innovation of the Year award. We use person centred approaches, helping patients to improve their coping skills and daily living abilities according to individual need. We work closely with families and local teams to support patients in their local communities.

We provide specialist forensic services, treating complex and high-risk cases. Many of the young people we work with are vulnerable, and present with severe psychopathology.

Young people referred to us may be involved with the criminal justice system or be at high risk of being so in the future. They are likely to present with behavioural problems like violence and aggression towards others, harming themselves, fire setting or engaging in sexually inappropriate behaviour.

We aim to provide a fast-track service for cases requiring an urgent response because of the nature of the presenting problem or, in some cases, the time limits imposed by criminal proceedings. We conduct home and community assessments where appropriate.

Eileen Skellern 1 (ES1) is a psychiatric intensive care ward (PICU) at the Maudsley Hospital. We offer care for women, aged 16-65, who live in the London Borough of Southwark.

Our team includes health and social care staff from a range of professions. We provide secure psychiatric and intensive hospital care for people who have severe and ongoing mental illnesses whose behaviour makes them unsafe, either to themselves or others, and who cannot be treated in an open ward.

We provide assessment, treatment and intensive nursing care.

A small number of people are brought to hospital under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act. This is a power that police officers can use if someone is in a public place and the police have concerns about them. We have a separate, designated place of safety, a ÔÔ136 Suite'', where they can be admitted, assessed and cared for. The police also have powers under the Mental Capacity Act to take someone, either from a public place or their home, to a place of safety - normally this would be to an Emergency Department.
