ADHD and Autism Assessment/ Diagnosis

Assessment typically includes:

  • A detailed clinical interview

  • Developmental history

  • Standardised assessment tools

  • Collateral information where appropriate

  • A written report with findings and recommendations

Assessments aim to provide clarity, not labels for the sake of labels. For many people understanding their neurodivergence can reduce self-blame and support access to appropriate accommodations and supports.

If you are unsure whether assessment or therapy is the right first step, we can discuss this during an initial appointment.
