No. I'd find a neuropsychologist who can look at all of it together.

I say that because sensory processing differences are often part and parcel of ASD or ADHD; you might as well evaluate the whole set of issues rather than one part.

Sensory processing, if looked at on its own, is usually evaluated by OTs, who are not qualified to evaluate for the other things you are trying to rule in or out. That's a good reason to see a neuropsych instead.
