ADHD and autism often overlap but services treat them as totally separate.
Two referrals. Two assessments. Two costs. Two waiting lists.
It’s inefficient and unfair. A combined pathway would reflect reality, cut duplication, and speed up support.

ADHD care in the UK is a postcode lottery.
Different rules. Long waits. Services that don’t talk to each other.
We’re mapping all this, starting with lived experience.
If you’ve been through ADHD assessment, diagnosis or treatment, your story matters.
