Frequently Asked Questions

Assessments

  • 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. AuDHD UK include a small admin fee for this which goes straight back into the charity so we can continue our important work!

Peer Support

  • As a first step, please fill out our Peer Support Enquiry here.

    If your application is approved, you will be asked for some extra information, then you’ll need to sign up for Discord and tell us your username, then you’re in!

  • Yes, you do. This is because we have to collect UK-specific data such as GP details in order to keep you and everyone else in the group safe. Please read our Safeguarding Policy for more information.

  • Peer Support Workers (PSWs) are trained volunteers who moderate our community. Our PSWs undergo background checks and in-house training before actively moderating the community.

    Their responsibilities include:

    • Making sure everyone follows the group rules.

    • Escalate any concerns to our Safeguarding Team.

    • Making sure the community remains a safe space.

  • Thank you very much for your interest in volunteering with us. We rely on people like you to run our Peer Support Services, and we’re very grateful for those who can support us in this way.

    Please check our Reach Volunteering and Charity Job profiles for vacancies.

Therapy

  • Yes. Unfortunately we are not in a position to be able to offer funding for therapy. However, many of the therapists in this directory provide a discounted rate for those on low income - this information may be found through the links in their bios, or you can send them a message asking if this is something they offer.

  • We will not disclose the therapists’ personal or medical information, but please be assured that all therapists in this directory are neuro-affirming, and many do have lived experience of AuDHD.

  • It’s okay if you want to change therapist; sometimes it takes a while to find the right one. Just let your therapist know how you’re feeling and that you would like to stop sessions with them.

  • Thank you for joining us on our mission. If you're interested in being included in our directory, please fill out this form to start the application process. Please make sure you include your phone number and any websites or directory profiles you have.

    Please note: we do not affiliate with any service provider which incorporates Applied Behavioural Analysis as a therapeutic approach. Any requests from service providers who practice ABA techniques will be declined.

  • Unfortunately not. Our Therapist Directory is specifically for those who provide clinical services, such as counsellors and psychotherapists. To ensure the focus of our directory remains the same, we are not including coaches at this time.
