Comparative analysis of diagnostic expectations between adults referred for ADHD and autism assessment: a thematic analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Adults seeking ADHD versus Autism assessment hold fundamentally different expectations requiring differentiated clinical responses. Findings provide empirical evidence for separate rather than combined diagnostic pathways, with condition-specific pre-assessment counselling, post-diagnostic support, and clinical expertise development. Generic ‘neurodevelopmental’ provision risks meeting no one’s actual needs.
