Getting an ADHD or autism diagnosis as an adult can be a transformative step towards understanding yourself better and accessing appropriate support. In the UK, you have options through both the NHS and private clinics. Let's explore these pathways:

NHS Diagnosis Route

The NHS offers free diagnostic services for both ADHD and autism. However, waiting times can be long due to high demand. Here's a general overview of the process:

  1. Consult your GP: Your first step is to visit your GP and discuss your concerns. They may perform an initial screening.

  2. Referral: If your GP believes further assessment is needed, they will refer you to a specialist.

  3. Waiting List: You'll be placed on a waiting list for assessment. Wait times vary by region but can be several months to over a year.

  4. Assessment: A team of specialists will conduct a comprehensive assessment, which may involve interviews, questionnaires, and possibly speaking with family members.

  5. Diagnosis and Support Plan: If diagnosed, you'll receive a report and discuss support options.
