What a Combined Autism and ADHD Report Actually Includes

Let's talk about the part nobody explains ahead of time. What do you actually get, at the end of all this?

Not a diagnosis code on a piece of letterhead. Not a fifteen-minute appointment where someone reads scores off a screen and wishes you luck. A document. A real one. Something you keep.

Here's what's in it.

Your full history, written down in one place

Most people who come to us have never had anyone sit down and take their whole story seriously in one sitting. Childhood. School. Relationships. Work. The things you were called instead of what you actually are, too sensitive, too intense, a perfectionist, lazy, dramatic. Your report starts here, because none of what comes after makes sense without it.

The actual testing data, explained, not just listed

Standardized measures for autism, for ADHD, for both. But raw scores on a page mean nothing to you, and a report full of numbers with no interpretation is a report you'll never open again. Every score in your report is explained. What it means, why it matters, how it fits into the bigger picture of your life.

A diagnosis, when one applies, stated plainly

Not hedged into oblivion. Not "features consistent with," repeated four different ways so nobody has to commit. If you meet criteria for autism, ADHD, or both, the report says so, clearly, because you came here for an answer and you're leaving with one.

Where the overlap actually lives

If you're autistic and have ADHD, your report doesn't treat that as two separate stories stapled together. It shows you where the two conditions interact, where the autism explains something ADHD alone couldn't, where the ADHD explains something the autism alone couldn't. That's the part a single-condition evaluation can't give you, and it's often the part that finally makes your whole life make sense at once.

Recommendations you can actually use on Monday morning

This is the section people underestimate before they get it and can't stop rereading after. Specific, individualized recommendations. What kind of therapy actually fits a brain like yours, not a generic referral to "seek support." What accommodations to request at work or school, and language for how to request them. What to say to the people in your life who need an explanation and have been waiting a long time for one.

Something you can hand to someone else

Your therapist. Your doctor. Your employer's HR department. A testing board for the LSAT or the bar exam. The report is written so it can leave the room with you and do work in places you're not standing.

What it isn't

It isn't vague. It isn't a template with your name swapped in. It isn't something you file in a drawer because you can't understand half of it. Two people can walk in with the same eventual diagnosis and walk out with very different reports, because two people with the same diagnosis have lived two different lives. This is why our evaluations are comprehensive. They should fit your specific life and give you meaningful feedback that you can use moving forward.

You didn't come this far for a label. You came for a map and resources for what to do after the diagnosis. That's what you're getting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my report just say I have autism, ADHD, or both, or does it explain more than that?

It explains far more. A diagnosis by itself doesn't tell you what to do differently starting Monday. Every report includes detailed, individualized recommendations for treatment, accommodations, and daily life, built around your specific history and results.

Can I share this report with my employer or school?

Yes. It's written to be shared, whether that's with a therapist, a prescriber, a school requesting accommodations, or an employer under the ADA.

Will the report explain how my autism and ADHD interact, or just list both diagnoses separately?

It explains the interaction specifically. That's the point of a combined evaluation: seeing where the two conditions overlap and affect each other, not just stacking two separate findings on top of each other.

How technical is the language in the report?

It's written in plain language. Where a clinical term is necessary, we define it, and you'll walk through the findings together in a feedback session before you ever receive the written document.

Is the report useful if I don't end up meeting criteria for a diagnosis?

Yes. Even without a diagnosis, the report explains what we did find, rules out what doesn't apply, and gives you clarity on what's actually driving your experience.
