Before your appointment
Start with a conversation about your concerns and any existing diagnoses. We explain the combined pathway and the information needed before assessment.

Explore a combined autism and ADHD assessment pathway
Could it be both autism and ADHD? When one explanation doesn’t seem to cover everything, it helps to explore the whole picture. Talk to ND Pathways about a combined autism and ADHD assessment route.
A starting point for your questions, not a diagnosis.
Before you book
Online assessment: if you are non-speaking (non-verbal), use alternative communication or have additional support needs, please contact us first. We can discuss reasonable adjustments or whether an in-person or specialist assessment would be more suitable.
We consider individual needs. An existing diagnosis, trauma or disability does not automatically exclude you.
More about suitability and age
Tell us about any communication support, interpreter or accessibility needs before booking. If we cannot meet your needs through this pathway, we will discuss alternative services or timing.
The free neurodiversity quiz is for independent self-completion from age 16. This does not set the age for clinical assessment. Contact us with a parent or guardian about a child’s pathway. Free quizzes and educational screening do not provide a clinical ADHD or autism diagnosis.
ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT
What does it explore?
AuDHD is a term used for the co-occurrence of autism and ADHD. If you have questions about both, ND Pathways can help you explore a combined clinical assessment pathway.
- Your questions about both autism and ADHD
- Background and developmental experiences
- The impact across everyday settings
- Whether exploring both conditions is appropriate
The findings and next steps
The clinical process considers autism and ADHD. The free screener does not diagnose either condition, and a combined assessment does not guarantee either diagnosis.
Questions about combined autism and ADHD assessment
Can I explore autism and ADHD together?
Yes. DTC can arrange a combined clinical pathway through its private partner. AuDHD is a term for co-occurring autism and ADHD. Discuss your questions and any existing diagnoses with us so we can explain whether exploring both is appropriate.
Is this available online across the UK?
DTC supports people across the UK online, without face-to-face appointments. We discuss individual suitability before booking and explain the partner assessment route, preparation and current fees.
What if reading or learning is difficult too?
Tell us about the whole picture. A cognitive or learning profile explores learning strengths and support needs and serves a different purpose from a clinical autism or ADHD assessment. We can explain these options without assuming that everyone needs every assessment.
