Wondering whether it could be ADHD, Autism or both?
A combined assessment explores the full picture, including where traits overlap and where they may have different explanations.
Perhaps you recognise yourself in descriptions of ADHD and autism, but neither seems to explain everything on its own. You may have developed ways to appear capable while managing difficulties with attention, sensory demands, social energy, routines or change behind the scenes.
A combined adult ADHD and autism assessment considers both sets of experiences together. We’ll explore your history, the strategies you rely on, how different traits may interact, and whether ADHD, autism, both, or another explanation best fits the information gathered.
I’m Kerry, a registered psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience and a particular focus on late-identified and high-masking adults. You don’t need to work out which assessment you “should” have before getting in touch; we can discuss whether a combined assessment is the right pathway for your questions.
Combined assessments are available by telehealth across Australia or in person at Erina on the Central Coast.

Is it ADHD? Autism? Both?You don’t need to have the answer before you reach out
Many adults spend years feeling different, exhausted, or emotionally overwhelmed without knowing why.
You may relate to:
Struggling with focus, memory, or starting things
Sensory sensitivity, burnout, or overstimulation
Feeling “too much” or “not enough” in social situations
A need for control, order, and downtime
Years of masking, people-pleasing, or pushing through
Being misdiagnosed—or never considered at all
You don’t need to fit neatly in a box to start understanding yourself.
A neuroaffirming Adult-Focused AssessmentWe offer a safe, structured, and supportive process to explore both ADHD and Autism, especially for those with high-masking or internalised traits.
Here’s what to Expect:
Pre-assessment questionnaires
Once booked, you’ll complete questionnaires to help us understand your strengths, struggles, and history.
Intake Interview (50 minutes)
Your ADHD + Autism Assessment begins with a comprehensive intake interview designed to explore your background, experiences and current challenges in a calm and supportive environment. during this session, we’ll talk about your history, strengths, daily routines and how ADHD and Autistic traits may show up in different areas of your life - at work, home and in relationships.
Clinical Diagnostic Interviews (4.5 hours)
Conducted in-person or via Telehealth, these 2 sessions explore your developmental background, current symptoms, and daily challenges.
Clinical interview 1 : ADHD - 90 minutes
Conducted in-person or via Telehealth, this appointment utilises the DIVA-5 to help explore your past and current challenges.Clinical Interview 2: Autism - 3 hours
Conducted in person or via Telehealth, this structured session explores your developmental history, sensory experiences, and masking traits. We use neuro-affirming tools like the MIGDAS-2 to understand your lived experience.
Feedback session (30 minutes)
We’ll meet to discuss the results in a clear, compassionate way. You’ll receive guidance, personalised suggestions, and time to ask questions.
A comprehensive report is provided within 4 weeks after your feedback session.
While we are qualified to diagnose autism and our reports are valid, please note that our autism assessments may not be suitable for NDIS funding applications as NDIS currently require evidence by a ‘specialist multi-disciplinary team, psychiatrist or clinical psychologist’.
Whether you’re a high masking adult, or someone exploring Autism for the first time, this is a safe and validating space to make sense of your experiences and begin your assessment journey.
