Seeing the whole picture.
Specialist combined assessments for Autism and ADHD. Save time, reduce stress, and understand how your unique traits interact with a single, comprehensive pathway.
Understanding “AuDHD”
When it’s more than just one thing.
Autism and ADHD frequently go hand-in-hand. Research suggests a significant overlap in these neurotypes (often called “AuDHD”). Assessing them separately can sometimes lead to an incomplete picture.
For example, ADHD impulsivity might “mask” Autistic social differences, or an Autistic need for routine might suppress ADHD disorganisation.
At AYC, we recognise that experiences can overlap across different conditions, making it important to take a comprehensive approach. Our combined autism and ADHD assessment pathway allows our multidisciplinary team to assess these areas together, ensuring a clear, accurate understanding of your needs and a diagnosis that reflects your individual experiences.
The Combined Pathway
Two Gold Standards. One Streamlined Process.
Initial Contact
Each assessment team will contact you, explain the process, and answer any initial questions.
Forms & Information Gathering
You’ll receive and complete the relevant forms to help us understand your child’s needs and background.
Booking Appointments
You’ll choose two separate dates — one for each assessment — arranged at times that work for you.
Assessment Appointments
Each assessment is completed individually, with support throughout the process.
Reports & Next Steps
You’ll receive two detailed reports (one for each assessment) within 6 weeks. A discounted rate is applied when both assessments are booked with us.
Why Choose a Combined Assessment?
The Benefits.
Clinical Accuracy
We carry out autism and ADHD assessments separately to ensure clinical accuracy, enabling a more thorough and comprehensive evaluation.
Cost & Time Efficient
Although the assessments are completed separately, booking both with us helps streamline the process and includes a discounted rate.
Two Detailed Reports
The autism diagnostic report includes clear, practical recommendations for education and work settings, while the ADHD report outlines ADHD-related traits and areas of difficulty to support understanding and next steps.
Who is this for?
Signs of Co-occurrence.
Routine Vs Inconsistency
Do you (or your child) have a need for routine (Autism) but struggle to stick to it (ADHD)?
Special Interests
Do you have intense special interests (Autism) but jump between them rapidly (ADHD)?
Social Communication
Do you struggle with social cues (Autism) but talk excessively and interrupt others (ADHD)?
Frequently Asked Questions
The assessment might confirm ADHD but rule out Autism (or vice versa). You will still receive full reports explaining exactly why, which provides peace of mind.
Each assessment takes up to 2 hours.
