Autism & ADHD Assessment Hub

For many families, seeking an autism or ADHD assessment isn't about getting a label. It's about finding answers, understanding their child's needs, and knowing how best to support them.

That's why feedback like this means so much to our team.

"I finally feel like the barriers have been lifted and me and my family can finally move forward with a clear path for support."

Knowing that a family feels more confident advocating for their child, and that our detailed report has helped them access the support they need, is exactly why we do what we do.

Every assessment we carry out is designed to provide more than a diagnosis. We aim to give families clarity, personalised recommendations, and the confidence to take the next steps, whether that's at home, in school, or beyond.

To the family who shared these kind words, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. We wish you and your daughter every success for the future.

Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can create the biggest memories.

Recently, a mum shared a simple request with her neighbours. Her 11-year-old autistic son loves trick-or-treating so much that he wished he could do it for his birthday, even though it was the middle of summer.

She hoped a few neighbours might be willing to answer the door.

Instead, 83 households came together to make his birthday wish come true. They decorated their homes, prepared treats and gifts, and welcomed him with smiles as he trick-or-treated through the neighbourhood in his favourite costume.

For many autistic children, joy can come from experiences that others may not expect. Taking the time to understand what matters to a child, rather than what is considered "typical", can make all the difference.

This story is a wonderful reminder that inclusion doesn't always require grand gestures. Sometimes it's simply about listening, embracing individuality, and making space for everyone to celebrate in the way that feels right for them.

We hope stories like this encourage more communities to celebrate neurodiversity, lead with kindness, and help every child feel accepted for who they are.

Did you know?

When you book an Initial Consultation with Autism & ADHD Assessment Hub, you can also choose to add a dyslexia screening.

For some people, autism or ADHD isn't the whole picture.

Looking at a broader neurodevelopmental profile can help ensure you receive the most appropriate recommendations and support.

What if it was never “just hormones”? 💛

For many people, perimenopause is the first time lifelong autistic or ADHD traits become impossible to ignore.

As oestrogen fluctuates, changes in attention, emotional regulation and sensory processing can make years of masking much harder to maintain.

Menopause doesn’t cause autism or ADHD—it can simply reveal what was always there.

In this video, Dr Jessica explains why this happens and why, for some, midlife is when everything finally starts to make sense.

Have you experienced this? We’d love to hear your thoughts 💛

The recent Channel 4 documentary "The Great ADHD Myth?" has raised questions around ADHD, including whether it should be understood as a neurodevelopmental condition, the reasons for increasing diagnosis rates and the role of medication.

These are important conversations to have. But it's equally important that people with ADHD, parents and families aren't left questioning whether their experiences are real or valid.

At Autism & ADHD Assessment Hub, we recognise ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition. This is also reflected in current NICE guidance, which provides recommendations for recognising, diagnosing and managing ADHD in children, young people and adults.

ADHD is not simply occasional distraction, high energy or the result of modern lifestyles. A clinical diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, developmental history and their impact across different areas of life. NICE guidance specifically states that diagnosis should be based on a full clinical and psychosocial assessment, rather than simply a questionnaire or observation.

We also recognise that questions around medication are personal and complex and treatment decisions should always be individualised and discussed with an appropriately qualified prescriber. As an assessment and diagnostic service, medication is not something we prescribe or manage directly, but our reports can support conversations with your GP, psychiatrist, or other prescriber. NICE guidance includes both medication and non-pharmacological approaches and the right path is a personal one, made with the right professional involved.

Most importantly, we don't believe ADHD should be diminished or reduced to a debate about whether it is "real".

Behind every diagnosis is a person with their own experiences, strengths, challenges and story.

Our assessments are carried out by qualified clinicians following national guidance, with the aim of providing individuals and families with understanding, clarity and meaningful recommendations.

If the documentary has left you with questions or concerns about ADHD or your own assessment, please speak to our team. We're always happy to listen and help you understand the evidence behind our clinical approach.

You can also take part in ADHD UK's survey about the impact of the programme and its coverage. ADHD UK says the evidence gathered will be used in its engagement with Ofcom and Parliament - Challenging Channel 4's "The Great ADHD Myth?" - ADHD UK: https://adhduk.co.uk/challenging-c4-the-great-adhd-myth/

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃?

Absolutely.

Many people are both autistic and have ADHD, often referred to as AuDHD.

Although autism and ADHD are separate neurodevelopmental differences, they commonly occur together. In fact, the traits of one can influence how the other presents, creating a profile that is unique to the individual.

Someone with AuDHD may enjoy routine while also craving novelty. They may want structure but struggle to maintain it, or experience sensory sensitivities alongside a constant drive for movement or stimulation.

There is no single way to experience AuDHD, which is why taking the time to understand each individual's strengths, differences and support needs is so important.

At Autism & ADHD Assessment Hub, our multidisciplinary team can assess for both autism and ADHD, helping individuals and families gain a clearer understanding of how these neurodevelopmental differences may interact.

It's okay if your progress doesn't look like someone else's.

Every neurodivergent person's journey is different.

Some days are about trying something new.

Some days are about resting.

Some days are about simply getting through.

Progress isn't measured by how quickly you reach a destination. It's measured by continuing to move in a direction that works for you.

Be kind to yourself. Growth doesn't have to happen all at once.
