Combined ADHD and Autism Assessments for Adults
NeuroPath provides information about clinician-led combined ADHD and autism assessment pathways for adults across the UK. A combined enquiry can be a useful starting point when you would like to discuss both questions, while each is considered separately in the clinical process.
Making an informed enquiry
When both questions may be relevant
Some adults identify experiences that could relate to ADHD, autism or both. A combined pathway does not predetermine any outcome. It allows the clinical team to discuss the available information, assessment goals and the most appropriate approach for the individual.
What the team may discuss
- The questions you would like to explore and the impact on day-to-day life
- Relevant developmental history and current context
- Whether informant information may be helpful and appropriate
- The most suitable format and sequence for the individual assessment pathway
The assessment process
How an enquiry can progress
2. Pathway discussion
The team explains the information that may be useful and the current scope before an assessment is arranged.
3. Coordinated planning
The clinician confirms the appropriate approach for each clinical question within the agreed pathway.
4. Clinical outcome
Any conclusion, report or follow-up is based on the completed clinical process and is considered individually.
Common questions
Before you enquire
Does a combined pathway mean two diagnoses?
No. ADHD and autism remain separate clinical questions. A combined pathway does not determine an outcome.
Can I enquire if I am not sure which pathway is relevant?
Yes. The team can discuss your circumstances and the available information before an assessment pathway is agreed.
