Dr Khurram Sadiq – Consultant Neurodevelopmental Psychiatrist, multi-award-winning author of Explaining AuDHD and one of the UK’s most recognised voices on Autism, ADHD and AuDHD including presenting 7x TEDx talks with more than 500,000 views.

Very few clinicians worldwide combine front-line service leadership, research training, international advocacy and daily clinical practice in AuDHD the way he does. This is the expertise you are sitting down with for your assessment.

For many adults, the real question is not “Is it autism or ADHD?” – it is “How do both show up together in my life?” This in-person Combined Autism + ADHD Assessment is designed specifically for that question. Rather than sending you through two separate pathways, you spend three hours face to face with the pioneering consultant whose entire career has focused on understanding the overlap.

For More Information

What is a combined adult ADHD and autism assessment?

A combined adult ADHD and autism assessment is a detailed evaluation that looks at whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, autism, or both. It is designed to give you a joined-up understanding of your neurodivergent profile, including how both conditions may affect your work, study, relationships and day-to-day life.

This assessment is suitable for adults who recognise traits of both ADHD and autism, or who feel it is unclear which diagnosis best explains their experiences. It can be especially helpful where there are overlapping difficulties with focus, organisation, sensory processing, social communication and emotional regulation.
Assessments are carried out by experienced neurodevelopmental clinicians with expertise in both ADHD and autism. The assessment process follows recognised diagnostic standards and considers your presentation carefully and thoroughly.
The in-person assessment is a structured process rather than a single checklist or questionnaire. It may include a developmental and life-history interview, self-report questionnaires, supporting information from someone who knows you well where available, and a review of any relevant background information.
The in-person combined adult ADHD and autism assessment includes a 3-hour appointment, together with 30 minutes of pre-assessment form review and 1 hour for writing the diagnostic report.
The in-person combined adult ADHD and autism assessment takes place at the London clinic: 98 Crawford Street, Marylebone, London W1H 2HL.
A combined assessment allows clinicians to look at ADHD and autism together in one pathway. This can provide a clearer and more complete picture of how your traits overlap and interact, rather than separating your experiences across two different assessments.
Yes. The assessment looks at your developmental history as well as your current experiences. This may include school, work, relationships, routines, sensory experiences, communication, emotional regulation and everyday functioning.
No. Questionnaires may form part of the process, but they are only one element of a full clinical assessment. Your clinician will also carry out a detailed interview and consider your wider history, current presentation and any co-occurring difficulties before reaching any conclusions.
The assessment looks at areas such as attention, impulsivity, organisation, social communication, flexibility of thinking, sensory processing, emotional regulation and daily functioning. It may also consider whether other factors, such as anxiety, depression, trauma or burnout, could be relevant.
For the in-person combined adult assessment, the detailed diagnostic report is usually provided within 10 days of the appointment.
After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining whether you meet the criteria for ADHD, autism, both, or neither. The report is designed to be clear and practical, helping you understand how your profile may affect different areas of life.
Yes. The report can support conversations with employers, universities and other services about reasonable adjustments and practical support. It may help explain how ADHD and autism affect focus, organisation, communication, sensory demands and everyday performance.
Yes. The report includes practical recommendations tailored to your needs. These may relate to work, study, daily life and wider support, so you have clearer guidance on possible 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 ADHD medication is stable, but you should always check with your 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 GP.
The assessment carefully considers whether other factors may also be relevant, such as anxiety, depression, trauma or burnout. Where appropriate, further assessment or support may be recommended to help build a fuller picture.
Yes. Follow-up appointments can help you understand the outcome of the assessment, think through next steps, discuss support options and, where relevant, review medication or wider treatment plans.
Yes. An in-person appointment can be helpful for adults who prefer face-to-face discussion or feel more comfortable being assessed in person.
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.
