Adult ADHD and Autism: Assessment in Lahore
Some adults reach adulthood without recognising that lifelong difficulties with attention, organisation, restlessness or social communication may be linked to ADHD or autism. Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar's assessment looks at childhood history, current difficulties at work, study and home, and other explanations such as anxiety, depression or substance use. Where possible, information from someone who knew you as a child helps. If a diagnosis is made, options may include practical strategies, psychological support and, for ADHD, medication where clinically suitable.
How consultations work
Consultations with Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar take place in person in Lahore or through a secure video call when clinically appropriate. The first appointment is a full assessment and is longer than a follow-up. Please bring a list of your current medicines and any previous reports.
