Combined ASD & ADHD Assessment
Autism Spectrum & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders
It is frequent for Autism and ADHD to present together. When they do, the interplay between attention, sensory processing, and social communication can create a complex experience that neither diagnosis fully explains on its own. Our combined assessment offers a streamlined, holistic evaluation. By investigating both conditions simultaneously, we minimise assessment fatigue and provide a unified understanding of your unique profile, ensuring that support strategies address the complete picture rather than just isolated symptoms.
Combined ASD & ADHD Assessment
Who is this for?
This is a diagnostic assessment for combined Autism & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, including a cognitive profile.
It is recommended if you or your child display a combination of traits, such as sensory sensitivities or social difficulties, co-occurring with inattention, hyperactivity, or executive functioning issues.
