Autism & AuDHD Assessment Diagnostic Service.
Book your assessment today!
Are you a parent wondering if your child has Autism, or ADHD, or both? Welcome to our Autism & AuDHD (Autism and ADHD combined assessments) Diagnostic Service.
At Autism Positive we understand seeking an Autism diagnosis is a big decision to make. You need to know not just whether your child is Autistic but also what to do next. We can help! We are a private Autism & AuDHD Assessment Diagnostic Service, with no current waiting lists, based in the West Midlands.
As a team of experienced professionals specialising in Neurodiversity, with a clinical focus on Autism and combined ADHD diagnoses, we have extensive clinical and assessment expertise (over 70 years between us!) and have been working together as a multidisciplinary team for over 10 years. We can provide gold standard Autism diagnosis, with a full report for ages 3 years – 21 years. We are now also offering combined Autism and ADHD (AuDHD) assessments for children over 12 years of age. We have a strong network of colleagues and ideas for evidence based interventions we can recommend to help you and your child move forward in a positive direction.
We recognise that each person is unique, and are dedicated to giving you the information you need to make informed decisions about therapy, school and support needs. Our recommendations will enable families or Neurodivergent Individuals to advocate for themselves and ensure the right accommodations are in place (whether in school or work) to thrive. Our goal is to empower individuals and their families with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate their unique journeys.
Fees: £1800 (includes Autism assessment and report with detailed functional recommendations)
£2600 (includes Autism & ADHD combined assessment and report with detailed functional recommendations)

Is my child Autistic or AuDHD?
We can help you to answer those questions. Initially we can carry out an autism assessment, OR a combined Autism & ADHD assessment, and let you know whether your child meets the criteria for Autism and/or ADHD or not. The next steps will be the same either way… what happens next?
If your child is not Autistic or AuDHD, there has been a question or comment on difference that has led you to us and so we will aim to work out with you where to go next, who to see and what questions to ask. We trust your gut instinct that something is different and we aim to direct you to your next steps.
What next?
If your child is Autistic / AuDHD this is a big label to receive and we want to support you to process the diagnosis and to explain this to your child. Once you have digested this information you will be asking “what happens next?”. That’s where we can help further. More than just giving you the label, we aim to support you through identifying key areas to prioritise. We are specialists in our field (please see our blog on “specialists” vs “special interests”). However knowing where to start, which area to prioritise and where to go for help can be overwhelming. As parents ourselves we all understand that coming up with a ‘plan’ for your own child is impossible. This is where we can work together with you. We will provide you with a report and comprehensive recommendations.
