FOR CHILDREN

Book an Online Combined Child Autism + ADHD Assessment

An online multidisciplinary combined assessment for children and young people aged 6–17, including a single, integrated diagnostic report.
This online combined assessment may also be available as an in-person assessment. Please contact 020 7362 6532 to check availability.

If you’re seeking clarity across both autism and ADHD, our online multidisciplinary pathway is designed for young people and their families. The process is structured, evidence-based and clinically robust, bringing together input from your child, parent or carer, school and multiple clinicians to reach a reliable conclusion with practical recommendations.

No GP referral is required — and everything is conducted online for your convenience.

This is a three-part multidisciplinary assessment that combines:

  • A 2 hour 15 minute online ADHD and ADI-R appointment with you and your child, led by our Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.
  • A 90-minute online ADOS-2 appointment with you and your child, led by our Chartered Psychologist.
  • A 20-minute online follow-up appointment with our Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. This appointment does not require your child’s involvement and is where the diagnosis is shared.


Assessment format:

  • SRS-2 pre-assessment questionnaires: completed by a parent/carer and a school contact to provide standardised ratings of social responsiveness across settings.
  • 2 hours and 15 minutes with you and your child (ADHD + ADI-R): this appointment is led by our Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and combines the ADHD assessment with the ADI-R, a structured caregiver interview used to help assess autism spectrum disorder.
  • 1.5 hour with your child (ADOS-2): structured activities and conversation to observe communication, social interaction and behaviours.
  • 20-minute follow-up appointment: completed online with the parent or carer only, with the Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, to explain the outcome and next steps.

Why Choose ADHD Health Clinic for Your Child’s Combined Assessment?

Autism and ADHD frequently coexist in childhood and adolescence. Our pathway is purpose-built for ages 6–17 and evaluates both conditions together, so you avoid repeated appointments and receive one coherent outcome.

Your assessment is delivered by highly experienced clinicians in child neurodevelopment. We integrate parent/carer interview, a focused child session, and standardised input from school. Validated rating scales (including SRS-2 and Conners 4™) help quantify traits and functional impact across settings. The result is a balanced, evidence-based formulation that clarifies where traits overlap, where they differ, and what will make the most difference day to day.

Following the assessment you’ll receive a single, practical diagnostic report to share with your GP and school. It sets out the findings, confirms diagnoses where met, and provides tailored recommendations for the classroom, home routines and next steps. Appointments are typically available within weeks, helping families access support sooner.

Understanding ADHD Symptoms

Symptoms often manifest differently in individuals and can have a significant impact on various aspects of life.

For More Information

What is a combined child ADHD and autism assessment?
A combined child ADHD and autism assessment is a detailed evaluation that looks at whether your child meets the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, autism, or both. It is designed to build a joined-up understanding of your child’s strengths, differences and support needs across home, school and everyday life.
This assessment is suitable for children where there are concerns about both ADHD and autism traits, or where it is unclear which diagnosis may best explain their difficulties. It can be particularly helpful where there are overlapping concerns around attention, behaviour, social communication, sensory processing and emotional regulation.
Assessments are carried out by experienced neurodevelopmental clinicians, including professionals with expertise in both ADHD and autism. The assessment process follows recognised diagnostic standards and considers your child’s presentation carefully and thoroughly.

This is a multidisciplinary team, or MDT, combined ADHD and autism assessment. The autism part of the assessment is completed in MDT format, with one clinician carrying out the ADOS assessment with your child and another clinician carrying out the parent interview. Alongside this, the ADHD assessment considers your child’s developmental history, current presentation, parent information, school reports and wider functioning. This MDT format is important because it helps ensure the autism assessment is accepted by the NHS and compliant with NICE guidance.

The online combined child ADHD and autism assessment is completed as part of a structured multidisciplinary process rather than a single short appointment. It includes detailed clinical assessment, input from parents and school, pre-assessment review, and the preparation of a comprehensive diagnostic report. It requires a 2 hour 15 minute ADHD and ADI-R appointment, a 90 minute ADOS-2 appointment and a 20 minute follow up appointment.

Yes. Parent or carer input is an essential part of the assessment, and school reports are mandatory in accordance with NICE guidance. This helps the clinical team understand how your child presents across different settings and supports a thorough and evidence-based combined assessment.
A combined assessment allows clinicians to look at ADHD and autism together in one pathway. This can help provide a clearer and more complete picture of your child’s profile, rather than splitting their needs across separate assessments.
The assessment looks at areas such as attention, impulsivity, activity levels, social communication, sensory differences, emotional regulation, behaviour, learning and developmental history. It may also consider whether other factors, such as anxiety, trauma or learning differences, could be relevant.
No. A combined child assessment is more than a brief screening or checklist. It is designed to gather information from different sources so that any diagnosis, or decision not to diagnose, is careful, robust and evidence-based.
After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining whether your child meets the criteria for autism, ADHD, both, or neither. The report is designed to be clear and practical, helping you understand how your child’s profile may affect learning, behaviour, social interaction and day-to-day life.
Yes. The report can be shared with schools and is written to help teachers, SENCOs and other professionals understand your child’s needs more clearly. It includes practical recommendations that may help support your child in the classroom and across wider school life.
Yes. The report may form an important part of the evidence used for SEN support planning, an Education, Health and Care Plan application, or an EHCP review. It explains your child’s needs, the impact on learning and daily functioning, and the kinds of support and adjustments that may be appropriate.
Yes. The report includes practical recommendations tailored to your child’s needs. These may relate to support at home, in school and in other settings, so families and professionals have clearer guidance on the next steps.
Yes. If ADHD is diagnosed and medication is considered clinically appropriate, medication options can be discussed with a consultant psychiatrist. This includes considering benefits, possible side effects, monitoring and how treatment may fit alongside non-medication strategies and autism-informed support.
Shared care may be possible once your child’s medication is stable, but you should always check with your child’s GP before starting treatment if shared care is important to you. There is no national policy on shared care, and decisions are made locally by individual GP practices and healthcare boards. More than half of our shared care agreements are accepted by NHS GPs, as our medication pathway is managed by consultant psychiatrists. Final approval, however, always rests with your child’s GP.

Yes. Follow-up appointments can help families understand the outcome of the assessment, review next steps, discuss support at school and, where relevant, review medication or wider treatment plans.

Yes. Online appointments can be a helpful option for families who would prefer to avoid travel or need something that fits more easily around school and family life.
Yes.
Yes. ADHD Health Clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means the clinic is required to meet established standards for safety, quality of care and clinical governance in England.
