Autism & ADHD (AuADHD)
Autism and ADHD Assessment and Support Services
ADHD, Autism – or Both (AuADHD / AuDHD)?
How to understand what’s really holding you back
More people than ever are starting to ask:
“Do I have ADHD? Could it be autism? What’s going on with me – and where do I start?”
It’s a valid question. And if you’ve found yourself here, you’re not alone.
At Attention to Health, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to be stuck in limbo – recognising traits of ADHD or autism, but not knowing what’s really behind your difficulties.
That’s why we offer a 30-minute expert consultation to help you start finding answers.
Why ADHD and Autism Can Feel So Similar – But Aren’t the Same
Both ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and autism (Autism Spectrum Condition) are neurodevelopmental conditions. They can affect how you focus, communicate, manage emotions, and experience the world.
Many people with one condition share traits with the other – but the underlying causes, needs, and best support strategies can be very different.
| Shared Traits | ADHD | Autism |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty focusing | Often distracted or impulsive | Often hyperfocused or rigid in attention |
| Social challenges | May interrupt or speak impulsively | May feel out of sync or need more time to process |
| Emotional dysregulation | Mood swings, frustration | Overwhelm, shutdowns |
| Sensory issues | Often seek stimulation | Often avoid stimulation |
Why Getting Clarity Matters
It’s not just about getting a label – it’s about understanding how your brain works so you can:
Stop second-guessing yourself.
Reduce frustration and self-blame.
Access the right kind of support.
Know what to focus on first.
Move forward with confidence.
What We Offer at Attention to Health
We provide a 30-minute consultation with a highly experienced clinician who understands both ADHD and autism in adults. During this session, we’ll:
Explore your current challenges.
Consider how ADHD or autism (or both, also known as auDHD or auADHD) might apply.
Help identify what’s most likely to be impacting your life.
Guide you on what to explore first and how to do it.
Whether you're just beginning to ask questions, or you've been stuck in uncertainty for years, this conversation can be the turning point.
What Happens Next?
If ADHD seems likely and is the main concern, we can help you directly with a full private assessment and support plan.
If autism appears more relevant (or equally important), we will recommend trusted clinicians who specialise in adult autism assessment.
And if it turns out that neither ADHD nor autism seem to be the primary issue, we can still help. Our team offers in-depth psychological assessments to explore other possible explanations and guide you toward the right direction of travel – whether that involves mental health support, therapy, or other pathways.
Our goal is always to help you understand what’s having the greatest impact on your life – and what to do about it.
If you're ready to stop wondering and start understanding, take the first step today.
