The purpose of the assessment is to reach an independent clinical conclusion based on all the available information. An assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis of autism or ADHD.

Following an assessment, the conclusion may be that your child meets the diagnostic criteria for autism, ADHD, both conditions, or neither.

If your child does not meet the diagnostic criteria, we will explain the clinical reasoning during the feedback appointment and document the findings clearly in the written report.

We will still identify your child’s strengths and areas of difficulty and, where appropriate, recommend support, next steps or other assessments that may be helpful.

Parents will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the findings. If you remain concerned or disagree with the conclusion, you are free to seek an independent second opinion.
