It was developed with the World Health Organization. In the original study, the short screener picked up about 69% of people who had ADHD.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adhdguideline.aadpa.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australia&#8217;s ADHD Clinical Practice Guideline<\/a> says people who screen positive should go on to a full diagnostic assessment. It also warns that screening measures can find it hard to tell adult ADHD apart from other conditions with similar symptoms, such as depression or bipolar disorder. <a href=\"https:\/\/adhdguideline.aadpa.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The guideline is clear<\/a> that ADHD should not be diagnosed from rating scales alone.<\/p>\n<h3>Autism screening<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/guidance\/cg142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The UK&#8217;s NICE guideline<\/a> suggests a short 10-question screener, the AQ-10, for some adults. A score of 6 or more, or a clinician&#8217;s concern, should then lead to an offer of a full assessment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autismcrc.com.au\/best-practice\/sites\/default\/files\/resources\/Assessment_and_Diagnosis_Guideline.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australia&#8217;s National Guideline for autism<\/a> says screening tools should not be used on their own to decide whether someone needs an assessment.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, screeners can get it wrong in both directions. A 2016 UK study of 476 adults referred to a specialist autism clinic, where most people were diagnosed, found that the longer self-report AQ did not predict who was diagnosed. For instance, 64% of people who scored below the cut-off were autistic. Anxiety also raised scores in people who were not autistic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ih-note\">\n<p>What this means for you: a low screening score does not rule out ADHD or autism, especially if you mask or have learned ways to cope. Likewise, a high score does not confirm them. A screening is a sensible first step if you are unsure, or if cost or wait times make a full assessment hard right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A word about online content<\/h2>\n<p>Social media has helped many people recognise themselves, and that can be a real relief. Accuracy varies, though. For example, a 2022 study of the 100 most popular ADHD videos on TikTok rated 52% as misleading. Also, most misleading videos were made by people who were not health professionals. A 2023 study of popular autism videos rated 41% as inaccurate and another 32% as overgeneralised.<\/p>\n<p>If something online resonates with you, write down your own examples. Then talk it through with a professional who can look at the whole picture.<\/p>\n<h2>What a full assessment involves<\/h2>\n<p>By contrast, a full assessment is what leads to a diagnosis. Australia&#8217;s guidelines for <a href=\"https:\/\/adhdguideline.aadpa.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADHD<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autismcrc.com.au\/best-practice\/sites\/default\/files\/resources\/Assessment_and_Diagnosis_Guideline.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">autism<\/a> both describe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a detailed developmental, mental health and medical history<\/li>\n<li>information from more than one person or setting, such as a parent, partner or school reports<\/li>\n<li>observation and standardised tools, used alongside clinical judgement<\/li>\n<li>checking the diagnostic criteria carefully<\/li>\n<li>considering other explanations, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems or a learning disorder, and whether more than one condition is present<\/li>\n<li>a written report, with the results explained to you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, ADHD and autism often occur together. A large review found that about 28% of autistic people also have ADHD. If you wonder about both, a combined assessment can look at both at once. Our article on <a href=\"\/resources\/adult-autism-assessment-what-makes-it-thorough\/\">what makes an adult autism assessment thorough<\/a> also explains when cognitive testing is worth adding, and our guide <a href=\"\/resources\/cognitive-assessment-with-adhd-autism-assessment\/\">do I need a cognitive assessment with my ADHD or autism assessment?<\/a> helps you decide.<\/p>\n<h2>Should you choose ADHD and autism screening or a full assessment?<\/h2>\n<table class=\"ih-compare\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>If this sounds like you<\/th>\n<th>A sensible starting point<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>You are unsure whether it is worth looking further<\/td>\n<td>A 15-minute phone call, then possibly a screening<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You need a diagnosis for work, study, the NDIS or medication<\/td>\n<td>A full assessment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Traits have clearly affected your life since childhood<\/td>\n<td>A full assessment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You wonder about both ADHD and autism<\/td>\n<td>A combined assessment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You had learning difficulties, or want to understand an uneven profile<\/td>\n<td>A full assessment with cognitive testing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost or wait times are a barrier right now<\/td>\n<td>A screening, and a conversation about payment options<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How Invictus Health can help<\/h2>\n<p>We offer screening and full assessments for ADHD, autism or both, for children, teenagers and adults.
