Overview
- You may be referred by your GP for an assessment of autism, an assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or an assessment of both.
- To help you understand your unique experience and to establish if a diagnosis is appropriate for you, we complete a comprehensive assessment.
- Autism is a lifelong developmental experience, each autistic person will have their own unique experience and assessment will explore your communication style, your sensory processing experiences, your routine and interests. Autistic people may wonder why they are 'different' and feel their social differences mean people don't understand them.
- ADHD is differences with attention and need for movement and impulsivity. A diagnosis of ADHD is when these differences are impacting on a person's function in different areas of life such as relationships and work.
- Both ADHD and autistic experiences can result in support needs or lead to low self-esteem and other difficulties.
