British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi provides specialized assessment and care for children and adults with ADHD and Autism in Abu Dhabi. Our services focus on understanding each individual’s needs and identifying appropriate support and treatment options.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect attention, activity levels, and impulse control. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can influence social communication, interaction, sensory processing, and patterns of behaviour. Both conditions vary from person to person and may present differently across childhood and adulthood.
A comprehensive assessment can help clarify an individual’s strengths, needs, and appropriate support options.
ADHD may involve:
• Difficulty sustaining attention or organising tasks.
• Hyperactivity or restlessness.
• Impulsive behaviour.
Autism may involve:
• Differences in social communication and interaction.
• Repetitive behaviours or strong preferences for routines.
• Sensory sensitivities or differences in processing sensory information.
The signs and their impact vary between individuals. These characteristics alone do not establish a diagnosis; a professional assessment is needed to understand each person’s needs.
A professional assessment considers an individual’s developmental history, current concerns, daily functioning, and needs. Depending on age and presentation, assessment may involve clinical interviews, standardised questionnaires, developmental information, and neuropsychological testing where appropriate.
Treatment and Support
Support is tailored to the individual’s needs and may include psychological interventions, behavioural strategies, parent guidance, and recommendations for home, school, or work. Where appropriate, care may involve coordination between psychology, psychiatry, neurology, and other relevant professionals.
The assessment process helps identify suitable next steps rather than assuming that the same approach is right for everyone.
Our ADHD and autism services may involve collaboration across relevant specialties, depending on each individual’s needs. Explore our related services to learn more about assessment and care options.
