Our combined autism and ADHD assessment in Adelaide looks at both in one process, with one report, for children, teens and adults aged 5 to 60. It happens at our clinics, or at school for under-18s, privately with no referral needed, and costs less than booking the two separately.

Autism and ADHD often occur together, and some signs can overlap.12 A combined assessment looks at both in one process, with one psychologist, so you don’t have to go through two separate assessments. ADHD can still be diagnosed when autism is also present.1 You get one written report and a feedback session that explain the findings and practical next steps.
You might say: My child seems to fit both
Some children are always on the go and also find friendships, change or noise hard. A combined assessment for ages 5 to 17 gathers information from home and school, looks at both questions together, and can happen at school.
You might say: I’m an adult wondering about both
Many adults wonder about autism and ADHD after years of finding focus, organisation, social situations or sensory overload hard. A combined assessment for ages 18 to 60 includes your history from childhood and, with permission, input from someone who knows you well.
You might say: One diagnosis doesn’t explain everything
You might say: We’re not sure it’s either
Difficulties with learning, anxiety or sleep can look like autism or ADHD. Our free first call helps work out which assessment, if any, fits best.
You might say: We want to know about medication
Our psychologists can diagnose ADHD but can’t prescribe. To start medication you need a psychiatrist, a paediatrician or, in South Australia, a specially trained GP (for children 8 and over, and adults), who will do their own assessment.4
You might say: We’d like support afterwards
After a diagnosis, a psychologist can help with routines, emotions, sensory needs, school, work and relationships, in a neuro-affirming way.
Call 08 8166 4700 or send an enquiry. Our team talks through whether a combined assessment fits, the cost and where it will happen.
Your psychologist starts with a detailed interview, with you or with the parent or carer, about current difficulties, development, childhood, health and family history.
Questionnaires are completed by you and by others who know you or your child well, such as teachers or a partner.3 Structured sessions at our clinic, or at school for children and teens, look at communication, social understanding, sensory needs, attention and daily life.
You receive one written report covering both autism and ADHD, usually within 2–3 weeks, and a feedback session (in person, or by phone or video) explaining the findings and practical recommendations.
| Service | Length | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Combined autism and ADHD assessment (ages 5 to 60) | Full assessment, one report and feedback | $2,500 |
| Autism assessment on its own | Full assessment, report and feedback | $2,000 |
| ADHD assessment on its own | Full assessment, report and feedback | $1,800 |
Fees as listed on our fees and funding page. Booked separately, the two assessments cost $3,800. Each fee covers the interviews, questionnaires and testing, the written report and a feedback session. Our team confirms the fee before the assessment is booked.
Our assessments are privately funded. You don’t need a referral from a GP or anyone else to book.
Medicare rebates and NDIS funding can’t be claimed for our assessment fees, so a GP referral or mental health care plan won’t lower the cost. The report can still support an NDIS access request, or support at school, study or work.
Our combined assessments are done by our assessment psychologists, who are registered with the Psychology Board of Australia and assess children, teens and adults. If therapy would help afterwards, our psychology team can support you.

Yes. ADHD can be diagnosed when autism is also present,1 and a combined assessment looks at both in one process, with one report.
AuDHD is a word some people use when they have both autism and ADHD. It isn’t a separate diagnosis: the report says whether autism, ADHD, both or neither fits.
No. Our assessments are private, so you can contact us directly. A GP referral doesn’t lower the cost, and Medicare rebates and NDIS funding can’t be claimed for our assessment fees.
A psychiatrist, paediatrician or trained GP does their own assessment before prescribing,4 so our report doesn’t replace it. The report is still useful for understanding the diagnosis and for support at home, school, study or work.
The report explains whatever fits: autism, ADHD, both or neither, along with strengths and practical recommendations.
