We provide Autism assessments and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments.
At what age can I have an Autism assessment?
- Children aged 5 and under: assessments are mainly completed by paediatric colleagues at acute hospital trusts.
- Children and young people aged 5 to 18: our CAMHS teams complete assessments, except in North Yorkshire where assessments are completed by paediatric colleagues at acute hospital trusts.
- Older young people, aged 17 plus: you may be assessed in our adult services.
At what age can I have an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment?
An assessment of ADHD can be considered but a possible diagnosis will not usually be confirmed until a child is 6 years old and has started school.
