Combined ADHD and Autism Assessments
What is a Combined ADHD and Autism Assessment?
A combined ADHD and Autism assessment involves two clinical diagnostic interviews and a battery of tests that are designed to determine whether an individual has ADHD, Autism, or both (AuDHD).
A combined ADHD and Autism assessment can be conducted at any age, and for any person who suspects:
-
That they might have Autism and/or ADHD
-
That finding out for sure would benefit their life in some way.
-
That ADHD medication might help them function better in daily life
A note on medication
Stimulant and non-stimulant medication for ADHD can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist. While some psychiatrists might diagnose and prescribe medication for ADHD without a psychological assessment, many will require that an ADHD assessment be completed with a psychologist first.
Why get a combined Autism and ADHD assessment with a psychologist?
Psychological assessments for ADHD and Autism are thorough, standardised, and result in a comprehensive report that gives you a personalised understanding of your ADHD, Autistic, or AuDHD brain style and how you can support it.
Once you have your report, you can take it to any psychiatrist, employer, or education provider and receive the prescriptions and supports you need.
