My Approach to Diagnosis
Every assessment I conduct is collaborative. Rather than tick boxes or rely on stereotypes, I aim to understand your life story in clinical context.
If you’re seeking clarity on autism:
We’ll explore your communication style, social interactions, routines, sensory responses, and more—using DSM-5 and ADOS-2-informed tools.
If you’re being assessed for ADHD:
We’ll focus on patterns of attention, organisation, impulsivity, and executive functioning—using structured interviews like DIVA-5 and validated self-report tools.
For many people, the line between autism and ADHD can be blurry. I help you understand what applies, what doesn’t, and what that means for your life going forward.
Outside of Clinic
Dr. Patel aka. Baghkate is passionate about mental health education and regularly contributes to webinars, clinical training, and community support initiatives.
Outside of clinical work, he enjoys watching films across genres and writing, both creatively and analytically. Whether exploring character psychology on screen or refining ideas on paper, he values storytelling as a powerful lens for understanding the human experience—neurodivergent or otherwise.
