Understanding this concern
Some people seek help with attention and organisation; others want support around sensory needs, communication or anxiety. An individual assessment is the right route for diagnosis, while therapy can focus on goals that matter to the person.
This guide is educational and cannot diagnose an individual.
What you might notice
- Attention and planningDifficulty staying on task, remembering steps or organising time can be part of ADHD.
- Restlessness or impulsivitySome people with ADHD experience inner restlessness or act before they mean to.
- Communication and sensory needsAutistic people may have different communication preferences or sensitivities to sound, light or change.
- Everyday impactSchool, work, relationships or self-care may call for practical adjustments and support.
Approaches to ask about
Methods vary by professional. Check each profile and ask what they offer.
ADHD-focused CBT and skills
Can help with planning, time management and coping with everyday challenges alongside other appropriate care.
Individualised, neurodiversity-affirming support
Starts with the person's communication preferences, strengths and goals rather than trying to erase their identity.
Support for related anxiety or low mood
A professional may address co-occurring concerns while adapting the work to the person's needs.
Your first conversation
Your first conversation
You can say what works well for you, what feels difficult and how you prefer to communicate. Ask about the professional's experience with ADHD or autism, available adjustments and whether a separate diagnostic assessment is needed.
Common questions
Can therapy diagnose ADHD or autism?
A therapy session alone is not a diagnosis. Ask whether the professional offers a formal assessment or can refer you to a qualified diagnostic service.
Is therapy a replacement for ADHD medication?
No. Therapy and skills support can help with daily challenges, while medication decisions belong with a qualified prescriber. Some people use both.
Does autism need to be treated?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, not something to remove. Support can address a person's chosen goals, accessibility needs and any related mental health difficulties.
How do I choose a suitable professional?
Look for relevant experience, an approach that respects your preferences, clear session arrangements and a communication style that feels workable.
