As we start the new year, it’s a time where many reflect on their lives and look at how to live more authentically. For some, this may be through an autism or ADHD diagnosis.
The decision to seek a diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it can often be the first step toward empowerment and an improved quality of life.
The Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Centre (AADC) is dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating the complexities of neurodiversity.
Its goal is simple: to provide clarity, compassion, and a pathway to understanding for those seeking answers about autism and ADHD.
Whether you are a parent concerned about your child’s development or an adult reflecting on lifelong challenges, the diagnosis journey can be challenging, but AADC is on hand to provide straightforward, comprehensive assessments best suited for each individual.

Believing that everyone deserves access to the resources they need to thrive, AADC offers a free initial consultation service.
During this service, individuals can explore the centre’s approach, discuss their concerns, and learn about the diagnostic process without obligation. This ensures that everyone feels confident and informed before taking the next step.
Then, following an in-depth, tailored assessment, AADC will deliver not only an accurate diagnosis, but also open the door to meaningful support and strategies for growth. From this, people can work towards living happier, healthier, and more fulfillfing lives.
Raymond, an AADC service user, said: “We recently had our child assessed at the Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Centre, and the experience was outstanding. The staff were professional, compassionate, and made our son feel at ease, which was very important to us.
“We received a clear and detailed report of their findings, which has been invaluable. Our child’s school also commended the centre for their detailed pre-assessment questionnaire, stating it was the most thorough they had ever seen. We highly recommend AADC for anyone considering a private ADHD assessment for their child.”
