: This observational, cross-sectional project was conducted as a service development initiative and was registered with the Clinical Audit Department at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (registration reference: AUDI003674). All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations, including those outlined by the Declaration of Helsinki. The aim was to evaluate and improve local assessment practices for identifying autism spectrum traits within a Neuropsychiatric clinic for FND, as well as other psychiatric comorbidities. As this project constituted service evaluation and did not involve any deviation from standard clinical care, it did not require review by an Ethics Committee, in line with the UK Health Research Authority guidelines.
