The adult ADHD/Autism assessment includes completing pre-assessment questionnaires, attending an 80-minute session (either remotely or in person), and receiving a detailed report. You can use this report for treatment planning or share it with your GP.
To start your adult ADHD/Autism assessment, contact Chase Lodge Hospital to request an appointment. We will send you forms to complete, including a self-questionnaire and a relative questionnaire.
Before your adult ADHD/Autism assessment, complete two questionnaires. Additionally, if you have any previous medical or psychological evaluations, keep those documents handy for reference.
The assessment lasts about 80 minutes. During this time, you will review your questionnaires and engage in a one-on-one consultation with a specialist. Moreover, the specialist may require additional health checks, especially before prescribing medication.
If the specialist finds that medication is necessary, they will prescribe it during your initial visits. You will typically need follow-up appointments to adjust the dosage. In addition, your GP will manage ongoing prescriptions under a shared care agreement.
The cost for an in-person adult ADHD/Autism assessment is £800, while a video call assessment costs £750.
A shared care agreement facilitates coordination between your specialist and GP to manage prescriptions effectively. Once your medication dosage stabilizes, your GP will handle prescriptions, ensuring continuous care under your specialist’s guidance.
After your adult ADHD/Autism assessment, your GP will coordinate your care, especially if you receive a prescription. This coordination occurs through a shared care agreement to ensure your treatment complies with regulatory guidelines.
You will receive your detailed assessment report within 3 to 4 weeks after the adult ADHD/Autism assessment. If you need the report sooner, we can arrange expedited delivery.
In some cases, you may need additional assessments to gain a complete understanding of your situation. Your specialist will discuss the next steps during your feedback session if further assessments are necessary.
