Specialist children and young people's autism (from age 2) and ADHD (from age 8) assessment service, up to age 18. ADHD assessment is remote-only; autism and joint ADHD+autism assessments offer a hybrid option via two physical hubs — The Senate, Southernhay Gardens, Exeter EX1 1UG, and Cavell House & Austin House, Stannard Place, St Crispins Rd, Norwich NR3 1YE. Typical remote waits (most English ICBs): ADHD ~9 weeks, autism ~8 weeks, joint ADHD+autism ~10 weeks. Hybrid waits vary by hub and age band: Norwich offers a notably fast ~2-week hybrid option (ages 6–18 autism, 8–18 joint); Exeter hybrid runs ~11–12 weeks (ages 2–4 and 5–18 autism, 8–18 joint).
