An Initial Step—Not a Standalone Diagnosis
Autism & ADHD Screening
Screening can organise concerns, identify patterns worth exploring and guide whether a full ADHD, autism or broader assessment may be useful.
It cannot confirm or rule out a diagnosis on its own and should not be marketed as an instant online result.

FAQs
Will screening tell me whether I definitely have ADHD or autism?
No. It guides next steps but does not establish or exclude diagnosis.
Is this a free online test?
No. The value is clinical context and interpretation, not an automated score.
Can I move from screening to full assessment?
Potentially; confirm what work can be carried forward and what fee applies.
Should I skip screening?
If a formal diagnosis or third-party report is clearly required, a full pathway may be more efficient.
