How to access the diversity hub services
Assessments, including diagnostic assessments are offered either via video consultation or face to face appointments.
For ASD and ADHD diagnostic assessments, evidence is collated from a number or sources where possible and discussed with another health professional, to ensure an multi-disciplinary team (MDT) diagnostic approach is used, as recommended in NICE guidance.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-5) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) criteria is used to make the diagnostic decision regarding ASD or ADHD.
