Combined ADHD & ASD Assessments Launching February 2026

Looking for a Combined ADHD & Autism Assessment?

ADHD and autism can often overlap, shaping everything from how you think and feel to how you communicate and cope with everyday life.

Living with undiagnosed ADHD, autism or a combination of both can be overwhelming at any age. Many people spend years feeling consistently misunderstood, exhausted and frustrated without knowing why everyday life feels harder for them than it seems for others.

At Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies, we offer combined ADHD and autism (ASD) assessments for adults, children and adolescents. A combined assessment allows you to explore both conditions together to provide a clearer and more accurate understanding of your or your child’s needs. We also offer access to ongoing support, including neurodivergent-informed therapy, medication (where appropriate) and guidance, all delivered by our experienced, multidisciplinary team.

We aim to offer assessments within a month of initial contact, so you’re not left waiting for answers and can get the support you or your child need.

What Is an ADHD & Autism Combined Assessment?

LeftFlower
Do you struggle with focus, organisation or emotional regulation, while also feeling overwhelmed or socially drained?
Do routines, sudden change, communication and attention always feel particularly difficult to balance?
Have you wondered whether ADHD, autism (or both) might explain so much about your life…?

ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are both neurodevelopmental conditions, and it’s common for traits of both to overlap and occur together. In fact, many people meet criteria for both ADHD and autism (commonly known by some as “AuDHD”), though one can sometimes mask the other.

A combined ADHD and autism assessment looks at the full picture of precisely how your brain works, rather than assessing each condition in isolation. This helps us give you a more accurate diagnosis and more effective recommendations for support.

If you have both ADHD and autism, you might experience:
  • Difficulty focusing or organising tasks
  • Racing thoughts or feeling mentally overwhelmed
  • Strong emotional reactions that are hard to regulate
  • Difficulty managing time
  • Sensory sensitivities to noise, light, touch or textures
  • Social interactions that feel draining or confusing
  • Burnout from masking
  • A strong desire for routine or predictability
  • Distress when plans change suddenly and unexpectedly
  • Feeling different from others without fully understanding why

Ready for a Combined ADHD & ASD Assessment?

If you’re considering a combined assessment and would like to talk things through first, we’re happy to help.

You can get in touch via phone or the contact form on our website to arrange an initial consultation and discuss whether an assessment is right for you or your child.

Who Are Combined Assessments For?

Our combined ADHD & autism assessments may be helpful if:

  • You’re an adult struggling with focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, and social or sensory challenges
  • You suspect ADHD or autism might be contributing to anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem or depression
  • You’ve previously considered an ADHD or autism assessment but felt neither fully explained your experiences
  • You’re a parent concerned about your child’s attention, behaviour, sensory sensitivities or social difficulties at home and/or school
  • Your child is struggling academically, socially or emotionally at school
  • You want clarity before exploring treatment, therapy or education/workplace adjustments

A combined assessment allows us to explore overlapping traits carefully and reduce the risk of missed or incomplete diagnoses.

Our Combined Assessment Process

We aim to make the assessment process as clear, supportive and straightforward as possible.

We don’t rush through assessments or just tick a few boxes. We take time to understand your individual experiences in depth and consider how ADHD and autism may interact and overlap.

Once you contact us, the process includes:

  • An initial consultation to discuss any concerns you might have, your suitability and the next steps of the process
  • Complete a series of pre-assessment questionnaires to give us all the background information we require
  • A comprehensive clinical assessment using recognised diagnostic criteria
  • A clear diagnostic outcome and report to let you know the result of the assessment
  • Personalised recommendations for what to do next, regardless of diagnosis

Why Choose Us for Your Assessment?

With increasing awareness of neurodivergence, more people are seeking assessments, often facing long waitlists and uncertainty about what support is available. That’s why we do things differently, giving you the answers and support you need as soon as possible.

  • Assessments within a month: We aim to offer an assessment and report within a month of initial contact, avoiding lengthy waitlists wherever possible.
  • Comprehensive care under one roof: Assessment, therapy and ongoing support are all available within one integrated service.
  • Experienced, multidisciplinary team: Our clinicians are highly trained and work collaboratively to ensure safe, evidence-based support with continuity of care.
  • Support beyond diagnosis: We focus on understanding the whole person, rather than just meeting the diagnostic criteria. This means that regardless of the result, we will ensure you are offered the support you need after our assessment.

What Happens After an Assessment?

If ADHD and/or Autism Is Diagnosed:

We offer a joined-up approach to care with a range of options. These include:

  • Medication management and titration for ADHD (where appropriate)
  • Neurodivergent-informed therapy, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Combined care using medication alongside therapy
  • Support for emotional wellbeing and identity
  • Guidance around reasonable adjustments at work or school
  • Ongoing psychiatric and therapeutic support

You don’t need to seek out different providers – assessment, medication, support and therapy can all be accessed within the same experienced team at Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies.

If ADHD and/or Autism Is Not Diagnosed:

Just because you don’t receive a diagnosis doesn’t mean your difficulties aren’t valid. Instead, we’ll continue to work with you to provide:

  • A clear explanation of the assessment outcome
  • Education and guidance to understand yourself better
  • Therapeutic support options, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Thoughtful signposting and recommendations for you to receive the support you need

Whatever the outcome, we don’t leave you without direction or support.

What Causes ADHD & Autistic Traits to Overlap?

Both ADHD and autism are neurodevelopmental conditions that are linked to differences in how the brain processes information, regulates attention, manages emotions and responds to both sensory and social input.

ADHD is often associated with dopamine regulation, affecting motivation, focus and emotional regulation. Meanwhile, autism involves differences in sensory processing, communication and social understanding. When these conditions overlap, these symptoms can intensify each other, making everyday life feel particularly demanding.

There is no single cause for ADHD or autism, and neither condition is caused by upbringing or parenting. Many people, particularly women and adults, are diagnosed later in life, exhausted after spending years trying to mask and adapt themselves to try and fit in with the rest of the world.

ADHD & Autism Combined Assessment Fees

Adults: £2,495

Children & Adolescents: £2,795

Why Does a Combined ADHD & Autism Assessment Matter?

Even if you’ve lived your whole life so far without any diagnosis, an assessment can still make a huge difference. A combined assessment can be life-changing, particularly for those who felt that a single diagnosis never quite explained everything.

Understanding precisely how ADHD and autism interact can help you understand yourself better and navigate a clear path forward.

A combined assessment can help in several important ways:

Understanding Yourself

Many adults reach later life, having spent years blaming themselves for their struggles with focus, emotional control, social situations and burnout. A combined assessment can explain many of your long-standing patterns and help you understand your brain more fully, without shame or self-criticism.

Work

ADHD and autism can both affect work in several different ways, from organising and focusing on tasks to communication, sensory tolerance and energy levels. A combined assessment can help you identify the reasonable adjustments you need to create a working environment that suits you best.

School and Education

For children and young people, overlapping ADHD and autism is particularly challenging in a classroom and traditional school environment, especially since it impacts learning, behaviour, confidence and emotional wellbeing. A combined assessment helps schools to fully understand the extent of your child’s needs and put the right support in place to help them thrive.

Relationships

Neurodivergent traits can influence the way you communicate, respond emotionally and interact with friends, partners and family members. Understanding how ADHD and autism might shape your relationships can help you avoid misunderstandings and maintain healthier relationships.

Accessing the Right Support

Whatever the outcome, a combined assessment can guide your next steps, from therapeutic support or medication to practical strategies that improve your day-to-day life. Even when neither ADHD nor ASD are diagnosed, assessments often provide valuable guidance and direction to improve your life.

For those with an ADHD or ASD diagnosis, assessments inform the various support options available. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach at Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies; treatment is discussed carefully and collaboratively, and all support is tailored to you as an individual.
