Individual Post-Diagnostic Support
Receiving a diagnosis of autism and or ADHD can evoke a range of responses. It is not uncommon for people to experience a combination of emotions, including relief, contentment, surprise, grief and apprehension. Similarly, a new diagnosis can give rise to many thoughts and questions (such as, “what does this mean about me?”, “would things have been different if I had received a diagnosis earlier in life?”, and “should I tell other people about the diagnosis?”. Some people feel a sense of clarity and validation after a diagnostic assessment, whereas others may initially feel somewhat unsettled and unsure about what to do next.

I was given a lot of information before the meeting and before we had even decided to go ahead with the assessment Debbie took a lot of time to talk to me in a very supportive way which put me at ease
You have both been incredibly kind and nothing has ever seemed too much trouble. The information, guidance and signposting to more sources of support will be invaluable.
It was a real pleasure to talk to people who really understood the complexity and subtlety of my son’s autism...it was great to see how you got beneath the surface to get the real story from him. You were kind, empathetic, encouraging and generous.
Very pleased that we were able to take advantage of their skills to assist [our son] in getting the diagnosis and help that he needs.
This was the best interaction I’ve ever had with professionals, they were super supportive and consistently made sure I was comfortable, and really took the time to understand me and my needs
