Autism, ADHD and Neurodevelopmental Conditions
Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are specific examples of Neurodevelopmental Conditions. Having an assessment for Autism, ADHD or other neurodevleopmental conditions is a thorough process where a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) support you. We are able to support you in a variety of ways.

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) Assessment
Autism is a lifelong, developmental condition that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them.
Autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently to other people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life; autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be ‘cured‘. Often people feel being autistic is a fundamental aspect of their identity.
Autism is a spectrum condition. All autistic people share certain difficulties, but being autistic will affect them in different ways. Some autistic people also have learning disabilities, mental health issues or other conditions, meaning people need different levels of support.
Autistic people share certain diagnostic features. These are commonly known as the ‘triad of impairments’. This means that they all share difficulties with social interaction, social communication, and with imagination, flexible thinking and possible sensory difficulties. Despite all sharing these characteristics, all will present very differently and hence it is important for the individual to receive a profile of their strengths and needs.
You may have heard of other so called ‘types’ of autism, however the diagnosis given is that of ‘Autism Spectrum Condition’. There are different profiles of behaviour within the spectrum such as the female presentation, the profile that used to be known as Asperger’s Syndrome, and Pathological Demand Avoidance. If relevant these can be discussed during your post assessment feedback session.
ADHD Assessment
ADHD can impact a person's performance in work, home, our self-care and relationships. If you suspect you have ADHD, getting assessed can lead to treatment that helps you manage symptoms, understand emotions, and live more comfortably.
There are various 'profiles' of ADHD which include hyperactivity, inattention and combined type.

Cognitive Assessment
Sensory Profile / Assessment
As more adults are recognising their neurodivergence we can support by assessing an individuals sensory processing and profile using standardised tools/assessments.
We create bespoke interventions and recommendationsthat can be applied in the home, community and work environment. Suggestions for adaptations can significantly affect one’s ability to be more focused, productive and inclusive. Reducing stress and having a more positive influence on our health and wellbeing.
Having a cognitive assessment is not an essential part of an neurodevelopmental assessment but it can be very useful.
Most adults have reasonably similar abilities in the different areas of the assessment (e.g. verbal and non-verbal reasoning, working memory and processing speed).
Many neurodivergent individuals will have an uneven or ‘spiky’ profile of strengths and difficulties. Some may be extremely able verbally but struggle in many other areas. They may have difficulties retaining and manipulating information or copying information off the board. Others may have significant language difficulties but process non-verbal information much more efficiently.
Results of a cognitive assessment can be shared with who you wish to explain why certain tasks may be difficult and provide recommendations on how to accommodate these challenges.
