ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments by Specialist Doctors

At Didsbury Therapy Centre, we are proud to offer comprehensive ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments carried out by experienced specialist consultant doctors.

All assessments are conducted by consultant child and adolescent specialists who take a thorough, individualised approach. Each assessment carefully considers social, emotional, developmental, and medical factors, ensuring a clear, accurate, and trusted diagnostic process.

Expert-Led Assessments With No Unnecessary Delays

Because assessments are completed by specialist consultant doctors, medication can be prescribed without delay when clinically appropriate. This allows young people and young adults to access timely treatment and support, reducing uncertainty and waiting times.

Our clinicians work closely with families and individuals to ensure the assessment process feels supportive, transparent, and respectful at every stage.

Why Early Assessment and Support Matter

Research consistently shows that when children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental conditions receive appropriate understanding and support from schools, parents or caregivers, universities, and employers, their risk of developing mental health difficulties reduces significantly.

Early identification and tailored support can lead to meaningful improvements in:

  • Anxiety and low mood

  • Depression

  • School avoidance and academic difficulties

  • Low self-esteem and confidence

  • Friendship and peer relationship challenges

  • Anti-social behaviours

  • Risk of substance misuse or addiction

Supporting Long-Term Wellbeing

A clear diagnosis provides more than a label — it opens the door to practical adjustments, emotional support, and appropriate interventions that help young people and young adults thrive at home, in education, and in the workplace.

If you’re seeking a trusted ADHD or autism assessment delivered by specialist consultants, Didsbury Therapy Centre offers a reliable, compassionate, and clinically robust assessment process you can rely on.
