Referral Criteria: GP referral only

The Adult Neurodevelopmental Service is an assessment and diagnostic service for people with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

• ASD - A lifelong condition that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them. People with ASD may wonder why they are 'different' and feel their social differences mean people don't understand them. 

• ADHD - A neurodevelopmental condition that leads to difficulties such as hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. ADHD can impact on a person's ability to function in different areas of life such as relationships and work. It can also lead to low self-esteem and other problems. 

Going through the assessment process can give you, your family and friends a better understanding of your style and abilities.  A diagnosis can help you identify your unique strengths and abilities, rather than seeing your differences as difficulties. It will also help you access support so you can manage the difficulties you experience. Following a diagnosis we offer group and/or individual support and signposting beyond the service.
