Dr Shakeel Islam is a Consultant Psychiatrist with over 12 years of experience supporting adults with intellectual disabilities and autism. At Augmentive, he specialises in autism diagnostic assessments – offering clear, compassionate evaluations that help individuals better understand themselves and access the support they deserve.

Alongside his private practice, Dr Islam works within a leading mental health trust in London, delivering specialist care for individuals with complex neurodevelopmental needs. He takes a person-centred approach to every assessment, combining clinical rigour with empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience.

“Without understanding their condition, many autistic people put immense effort into masking their symptoms to navigate daily social life, which can be exhausting. Over time, that constant effort can lead to stress, burnout, and a daily struggle just to return to baseline.”

Dr Islam is committed to staying up to date with the latest research in autism and intellectual disability care, ensuring that his practice is always informed by evidence and guided by compassion. His goal is simple: to help individuals thrive by providing clarity, recognition and a tailored path forward.

Dr Islam offers appointments for adults (18+) and is currently available for assessments on Wednesdays. For enquiries, contact pa-dr-islam@augmentive.io. Messages are monitored Monday to Friday, 9:00am–1:00pm, with replies typically sent within 24 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays)
