About this Support Category
Combined ADHD and autism assessments may be useful when a child, young person or adult has traits or support needs that do not clearly fit one single pathway. Some people explore combined assessment because ADHD and autism can overlap, co-exist or be considered together during wider neurodevelopmental assessment.
Assessment providers may support:
- Children and young people where ADHD and autism-related differences may both be present
- Adults looking for a combined ADHD and autism assessment or clearer understanding of long-standing differences
- Families exploring attention, communication, sensory needs, masking, emotional regulation, learning or social interaction differences
- People looking for online, in-person or hybrid neurodevelopmental assessment options
- Parents seeking reports that may support education planning, school discussions or further professional advice
When choosing a combined ADHD and autism assessment provider, check who carries out the assessment, their professional registration, what the assessment includes, whether reports are provided, expected timescales, fees, follow-up support and whether the service is suitable for children, adults or both.

Finding the Right Combined ADHD and Autism Assessment Provider
The right combined assessment provider will depend on age, location, assessment needs, budget, timescale and whether the person is looking for child, adult or wider neurodevelopmental assessment support.
Some providers assess ADHD and autism together, while others may assess one area first and recommend further assessment if needed. Some services may offer online assessments, while others require in-person appointments, developmental history, school information or input from family members and other professionals.
Before contacting a provider, consider whether you need:
- A child, adult or family-focused combined assessment service
- A private neurodevelopmental assessment provider with suitable professional registration
- Assessment for ADHD and autism together, rather than one condition only
- Online, in-person or hybrid appointments
- A written report for school, work, further support or personal understanding
- Information about fees, waiting times, follow-up support and next steps
