Autism & ADHD assessments,with clearer evidence.

Clinician-governed, guideline-aligned intake, consultation capture and report drafting for autism and ADHD assessments.

Sound like your week?

First session burned re-collecting screening history the client already gave their GP.

Walk in with screeners, informant input and a structured timeline already on screen.

Splitting attention between rapport and the keyboard. Notes always lose.

Speak. We capture the session and pin quotes to the right DSM-5 criterion.

Two hours after every client, writing a defensible report from cold notes.

A NICE-aligned draft, cross-reviewed and bias-checked, ready to edit in minutes.

Four stages. One assessment file.

The workflow your admin team wishes existed — built around the consultation, not around it.

1Intake & prep

Clients arrive with less context than they should have. You re-do the screening in the room. You're scanning PDFs five minutes before they walk in.

Clients complete validated autism screeners (RAADS-R, CAT-Q, AQ) inside the AskSheldon app and can nominate a parent or partner as an informant. Everything lands in their assessment file before the consultation.

2Live consultation

Note-taking pulls you out of the conversation. By the end of the hour you've forgotten what fits where in the 5 Ps.

Speak. SheldonDx captures the session, pins quotes to the right DSM-5 criterion, and scaffolds the formulation in real time as evidence comes in. Works in-person and over telehealth.

3Defensible report

Writing a report that holds up to challenge takes two to three hours — after an already full day.

SheldonDx assembles a NICE-aligned draft from the session, cross-reviews it and runs a bias check. Every claim traces back to a quoted line. You review, adjust, sign. Typically 30 minutes, not three hours.

4Handoff & follow-through

Referrals get lost in email. Once the report is signed, you lose visibility on whether clients actually started therapy.

Send a structured referral with tracking. Clients continue on AskSheldon with reminders and journey support. You keep sight of outcomes without extra admin.

How it works

From first assessment to signed report — four stages, one pipeline.

Four stages. See what changes at each step of the pipeline.

No patient data — scripted example

Reports that stand up under challenge.

Every claim traceable. Every criterion documented.

Evidence linked to criteria

Every line in the report traces back to a quoted moment in the session, the screener, or an informant response.

DSM-5 & ICD-11 criterion mapping

Formulation and report are structured against DSM-5 and ICD-11 — the two frameworks accepted in most jurisdictions.

Bias verification

Automatic checks flag interpretation drift — gender, culture, masking — before the report leaves your desk.

Cross-review built in

Loop a second clinician in for blind review with one click. Capture disagreements and rationale, not just sign-offs.

AskSheldon · the patient network

List once. Clients and families find you — on WhatsApp.

When you join SheldonDx, your profile appears in the AskSheldon network. Clients and families find you directly from WhatsApp, complete a validated screener before the appointment, and arrive ready to work.

  • Your profile in the AskSheldon directory — accessible from the app and from WhatsApp, no download required for clients
  • Clients complete validated screeners on their own time; results land in your assessment file automatically
  • Informant flows bring parents and partners into the picture before the consultation
  • A guided post-diagnosis journey keeps clients engaged and your outcomes visible

No extra outreach needed. The platform does the intake work.

One assessment file. Every channel feeding into it.

AskSheldon is where the formal work happens. WhatsApp is where the everyday lives. We make them act like one inbox.
