Autism 360
Making Autism Diagnoses Faster and More Accessible

For families that suspect a child has autism, an early diagnosis can make a world of difference. But many public health care systems do not have the capacity to meet growing demand, leading to extended waiting times. In the UK, it is not uncommon for families to wait many months before assessments even begin.

Autism 360 was founded to expand access to care by reimagining how diagnoses are delivered. Led by clinical experts in autism and neurodiversity, the clinic responds to rising demand by streamlining the diagnostic journey. It integrates digital self-assessment portals and home-based video consultations with personalised in-clinic care, creating a hybrid model that combines convenience with clinical excellence. The approach is designed to ensure families receive timely, compassionate support.

“If demand rises in manufacturing, you open another production line and make processes quicker, cleaner and more efficient. We use the same principles to redesign diagnostic services,” explains Phil Anderton, CEO. “It’s about growing to meet needs, not rationing care.”

Autism 360 demonstrates that with the right design, health care services can be both scalable and profoundly human, offering support when it matters most.

A Values-Driven Approach

Accessing health care for neurodiversity conditions such as autism and ADHD presents two, intertwined challenges. One is visible; navigating long waiting lists that delay diagnosis. The other, less apparent but equally urgent, is the hidden cost to society when neurodiverse individuals go undiagnosed and unsupported.

Often, attention focuses narrowly on the price of a diagnostic assessment while overlooking the broader consequences when that diagnosis never occurs. Untreated autism can create cascading challenges across education, employment, social care and public health systems. Shaped by short-term budget considerations, traditional health care tends to prioritise immediate savings over future resilience.

“When an organisation faces financial pressure, the first thing often cut is training,” explains Anderton. “But without investing in people, the organisation’s future strength is undermined. In the same way, health care systems face a dilemma. Skipping early intervention for autism may offer short-term relief on paper, but it generates far greater costs across society over time.”

Autism 360’s validated, digital self-assessments and home-based video consultations remove many of these indirect barriers. Families no longer need to travel or schedule their lives around lengthy in-clinic appointments. Instead, they can engage with the diagnostic process from the comfort of their homes, in a way that is faster, more convenient and less disruptive.

More importantly, by anchoring its model in early intervention and scaling care within a framework of clinical safety and deep compassion, the clinic challenges the notion that diagnosis is the finish line. For Autism 360, it’s just the beginning.

Where many services conclude after labelling the condition, Autism 360 guides families through the nuanced terrain that follows. From decoding the meaning behind a diagnosis to addressing daily life complexities and preparing for transitions ahead, its continuum of care ensures no one is left navigating alone.

Autism 360 doesn’t believe in episodic support—it’s an evolving relationship rooted in empowerment. The clinic’s strengths-based model helps individuals harness their own capabilities while also working to shift the broader environment. Its thoughtful education and advocacy promote sustainable change, making schools, workplaces and communities more accommodating and inclusive—not by exception, but by design.

The 360-Way: The Architecture of Excellence

Autism 360’s model is architected for excellence at every level. While many healthcare organisations assume that hiring talented clinicians alone leads to strong outcomes, Autism 360 challenges that notion. It recognises that expertise, no matter how refined, can only go so far in a system weighed down by fragmentation, inefficiencies or operational disconnects. What’s needed is more than talent—it’s alignment.

That alignment is made possible through ‘The 360 Way,’ a philosophy that ensures the system supports the people within it—starting with the clinician. When providers feel psychologically safe, emotionally grounded and purpose-driven, their capacity for compassionate, continuous care naturally expands.

This is why Autism 360 embeds Maslow’s hierarchy of needs into its organisational culture, which enables it to stay consistently present in each patient’s journey emotionally and relationally.

The care model is deliberately structured to reflect the company’s core commitment. Instead of dividing a patient’s care across multiple providers, Autism 360 assigns a single clinician to walk with each family from start to finish. This continuity creates an unbroken thread of care—anchored in trust, depth and understanding—that stands in stark contrast to the disjointed experiences seen in many healthcare settings.

“We must focus on doing the right job for our patients, demonstrate empathy through action and build quality into every step. We’re not just here to do the job—we’re here to do it well,” says Anderton.

And when that alignment is achieved between people, process and purpose, a powerful cycle begins. Clinician well-being fuels deeper patient engagement, which in turn reinforces clinician fulfilment. This virtuous loop has become a defining feature of Autism 360’s success, made real in the stories of families who not only find clarity and support but also connection, continuity and care that endures.

Illuminating Lives through Understanding

The transformative power of Autism 360’s approach crystallises in the story of a 20-year-old patient whose future was reshaped by the clarity their services provided. Previously diagnosed with ADHD but still struggling with unexplained challenges, he turned to Autism 360 for answers. Its additional autism diagnosis provided the missing piece to his neurological puzzle, revealing why his lived experience combined a deep need for routine with a simultaneous craving for novelty and impulsivity.

For the first time, he could see his mind’s architecture clearly and develop targeted strategies for managing each condition. With this understanding, he was no longer fighting an invisible battle. Today, he is completing a university degree, working full-time and living independently—milestones he once thought were out of reach.

Successes like this show what’s possible when healthcare blends operational agility, digital innovation and continuous quality improvement without losing sight of the human beings it serves. Autism 360 is more than a healthcare provider. It is a blueprint for how efficiency and accessibility, when designed around human needs, can create a life-changing impact.
