AuDHD is the lived experience of being both autistic and ADHD at once. We assess both and how they interact in you in one integrated, neuroaffirming pathway.
The Complimentary AuDHD Discussion is a free, 30-minute video conversation with our clinical team to understand your history and decide together whether the integrated AuDHD pathway is right for you. No public online questionnaire, commitment, or payment is required for this first discussion.
When ADHD and autism overlap, your needs can seem to pull in opposite directions. These experiences may feel confusing until both are understood together.
It is a distinct presentation shaped by the interaction between two neurotypes. Sometimes the traits reinforce each other. Sometimes they pull in opposite directions. Sometimes one masks the other.

AuDHD describes the lived experience of being both autistic and ADHD at the same time. It is not simply ADHD plus autism — it is a distinct presentation shaped by how the two neurotypes interact.

AuDHD describes the lived experience of being both autistic and ADHD at the same time. It is not simply ADHD plus autism — it is a distinct presentation defined as much by the tension between the two neurotypes as by their combined features. It is a community-coined identity term rather than a separate DSM-5 diagnosis.
Your AuDHD Assessment is delivered personally by both co-founders — Dr. Anita Parhar (PhD) and Dr. Gurdeep Parhar (MD) — with report review and clinical input from one of our in-house Registered Clinical Counsellors or Psychotherapists. Our integrated MD + PhD + counsellor model brings multiple perspectives into one coordinated assessment.
The assessment involves approximately 1.5 hours, covering an integrated clinical interview, ADHD and autism screening, your sensory and executive-function profile, masking history, and a treatment discussion. Before the appointment, we email you the Adult Autism Tool (AuDHD edition) to complete privately in your own time. Before all of that, you have a Complimentary AuDHD Discussion, and afterward one of our in-house Registered Clinical Counsellors or Psychotherapists reviews your report.
Yes — where you meet criteria. AuDHD itself is not a DSM-5 diagnosis, so your report provides DSM-5-aligned diagnoses of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or both wherever you meet criteria, alongside a narrative explaining how the two interact in your specific case. This keeps the report useful for accommodations, workplace, academic, and treatment-planning purposes.
The assessment requires the expertise of several different mental health professionals who are not covered by public provincial or territorial health plans.
If your private extended health insurance plan covers Registered Clinical Counsellors, Social Workers, or Psychotherapists, part or all of the assessment cost may be reimbursed.
As every private insurance plan is different, we recommend contacting your plan and obtaining details about your coverage. Once you know these details, email affirm@audhdcentre.com with any questions.
The Complimentary AuDHD Discussion is a free, 30-minute video conversation with a member of our clinical team. There is no commitment or payment required. We use it to understand your history and goals and to decide together whether the integrated AuDHD pathway is right for you, or whether a single-condition assessment would serve you better.
The Compassion Program offers the same assessment at a reduced fee of $1,700 for patients experiencing financial difficulty. Drs. Parhar personally cover $1,000 of the gap for each Compassion Program assessment. If cost is a barrier, raise it during your complimentary AuDHD discussion and we will talk it through with you.
This pathway was designed with frequently missed presentations in mind, including women, late-diagnosed adults, gender-diverse people, and people who have spent years masking. Our assessments are neuroaffirming and attentive to high-masking presentations.
Recommendations are individualized and discussed with you directly. While follow-up is encouraged with your own primary care practitioner, therapist, or coach, we will provide guidance on how to get started.
Blue Sky Learning provides educational resources designed to help you better understand AuDHD and support your continued learning after your assessment.
