Assessment Pathways
Together with our clinical partners, we offer bespoke assessment pathways and tailored management plans for autistic and ADHD adults in the UK.
We have created a groundbreaking new approach to AuDHD testing by combining current autism and ADHD assessments into one streamlined AuDHD pathway. Instead of waiting months for one assessment and years for the other, all it takes is one extra hour and a few additional forms.
Our assessments are delivered by experienced clinicians and can be held in person in London or online, depending on your needs and the pathway you choose. Each pathway includes an initial clinical appointment, pre-assessment questionnaires, and a 30-minute outcome meeting to discuss your results and possible next steps, such as medication, therapy or neurodiversity coaching.
Please note that our assessments are privately funded. Current prices start from £1,645 for an autism assessment, £800 for an ADHD assessment, and £2,232 for a combined AuDHD assessment.
We know that cost is an important part of the decision, so we encourage you to review the pricing information below before applying. If you have any questions, our team is happy to help before you begin.
Assessment Pathways
Application Form
The first step in the assessment pathway is to fill out our application form. This tells us a little bit about you and gives us an idea about why you’re looking to get assessed and what you hope to achieve from your assessment.
Invoice & Payment
Before we can refer you to our clinical partners, we will send you an invoice for the appropriate amount (please see below for pricing details). All our assessment prices include a £50 admin fee to cover transaction fees, with the remainder going towards the charity. The invoice must be paid in full before we can send your referral to our clinical partners.
Initial Screening
Your referral will be screened by our clinical partners to ensure the assessment is appropriate for you. If they need more information than what is in our referral, you may have a discovery call with a psychiatrist where the two of you talk about why you think you are neurodivergent, your history, and if an assessment is right for you. You will then be asked to book in your initial appointment and will be sent some pre-assessment questionnaires.
Appointments
Both our clinical partners offer online assessments, with MOAI also offering in-person appointments at their London-based clinic. Each assessment pathway requires a different set of appointments:
Autism Pathway: 1-hour initial appointment, 2-hour ADI-R interview, 1-hour ADOS assessment
ADHD Pathway: 2-hour clinical appointment
AuDHD Pathway: 2-hour initial appointment, 2-hour ADI-R interview, 1-hour ADOS assessment
Please note: The AuDHD assessment pathway assesses for both autism and ADHD at the same time - it is not a separate diagnosis. If you have already been diagnosed with autism or ADHD, please select a single autism/ADHD assessment as the combined assessment is not necessary.
Outcome Meeting
Once all your appointments are complete, you will then have an outcome meeting. This lasts 30 minutes and is where you can discuss next steps and potential support strategies such as medication, coaching, or therapy.
Management Pathway
Both our providers offer aftercare options which you can explore if you choose. This varies from person to person, but may include:
Medication
Therapy
Neurodiversity coaching
A combination of these
Together with your clinician, you will decide which of these is right for you and how best to proceed.

FAQs
-
If you already have a single diagnosis, you do not need to reassess that condition in a combined assessment. If you identify as an AuDHDer, you’d only need to undergo the other condition assessment e.g. if you have an Autism diagnosis already, you’d only need to apply for an ADHD assessment.
-
Unfortunately not. Offering split payments would cost AuDHD UK in charges, so in order to be able offer the lowest possible prices, we do not offer split payments.
-
Yes you can! We are partnered with MOAI and AuDHD Psychiatry. Both are excellent providers but offer slightly different benefits for your assessment. Keep an eye on our social media and website for more information on our providers. If you do not have a preference of providers, we will choose the most suitable provider for you - keeping low cost and assessment format preference (in person/online) as priorities.
-
Applying for an assessment with AuDHD UK usually takes a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly we receive your additional information and payment. Once your referral is sent to our provider, it can take a few weeks to be assessed.
-
Finding the right provider for you can be overwhelming, AuDHD UK have done the legwork to ensure that we know the founders of the providers, have negotiated best prices and help with the initial paperwork for you.
