Understanding neurodivergence: assessment and diagnosis

You can access many online screening tools to help you to decide if you want to pursue a formal diagnosis.

Some of the most common tools can be accessed below:

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Autism Spectrum Quotient
• Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale
• Dyslexia Self-Assessment 
• Dyslexia Screening Test 

If you decide that you would like to pursue a formal assessment and diagnosis, the next step is to contact a specialist to arrange an appointment.

Your GP or healthcare provider may also be able to provide a referral to a specialist.

Autism NZ and ADHD NZ have lists of practitioners who provide assessments.
