Combined ADHD and Autism Assessments
Private Assessments for Adults and Children, With Clear Answers & Guidance
For adults and children
Three clinical appointments
Multidisciplinary team review
Written report and feedback
Not Sure Whether It's ADHD, Autism or Both?
You do not need to work out whether it is ADHD, autism or both on your own. The two conditions can share certain characteristics, and some people meet the diagnostic criteria for both.
A combined assessment allows our clinicians to consider both together, rather than asking you to choose one explanation before you begin.

When Might a Combined Assessment Be Helpful?
These experiences can have several explanations. Recognising some of them does not mean ADHD or autism is necessarily present. Our suitability process helps identify the most appropriate route.
A combined assessment may be helpful if you recognise characteristics associated with both ADHD and autism, or are unsure which pathway best explains your experiences.
People may notice a combination of the following:
- Difficulty concentrating, planning or managing time
- Restlessness, impulsivity or feeling overwhelmed
- Differences in social interaction or communication
- Sensory sensitivities to noise, light or textures
- A preference for routine or difficulty with change
- Challenges affecting work, school or relationships
Combined Assessments for Adults and Children
For Adults
You may have spent years managing difficulties with focus, organisation or overwhelm while noticing differences in social interaction, sensory experiences or a need for routine. Masking or adapting can be exhausting.
For Children
Parents may notice difficulties with attention or emotional regulation alongside differences in communication, sensory processing or coping with change. The assessment considers developmental history and information from different settings where appropriate.
You do not need to decide which diagnosis fits before contacting us. We may recommend a combined assessment or an individual adult ADHD, adult autism, child ADHD or child autism assessment.
What Happens During a Combined ADHD and Autism Assessment?
The pathway includes three clinical assessment appointments, followed by multidisciplinary review, a report and feedback. Our team will confirm arrangements for your individual assessment.
1. Before Your Assessment
Questionnaires and background information, including developmental history and school input for children where appropriate.
2. ADHD Assessment: In Person
A comprehensive clinical assessment of experiences associated with ADHD and their effect on daily life.
3. Autism Assessment: ADOS, In Person
A structured assessment exploring areas relevant to autism, normally held at our clinic.
4. Autism Assessment: ADI-R, Usually Online
A detailed developmental history interview, generally conducted online.
5. Multidisciplinary Team Review
The clinicians involved review the information from all three appointments together.
6. Written Report and Feedback
A detailed report with personalised recommendations and feedback explaining the findings and next steps.
A combined assessment involves more appointments and clinicians than an individual assessment, so the overall process may take longer. We will explain expected timescales before you proceed.
What Might the Assessment Find?
The aim is to understand the evidence, not to assume that both conditions will be diagnosed. The assessment may find that the criteria are met for:
- ADHD
- Autism
- Both ADHD and autism
- Neither ADHD nor autism
If Neither Condition Is Diagnosed
Not every assessment results in a diagnosis. We will explain the findings and what they mean.
Where possible, we will recommend appropriate next steps or other support. The aim is clarity, whether or not a diagnosis is made.
