At the Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Centre (AADC), diagnosis is not the finish line, it is the beginning of real understanding and support.
If you or your child receives a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD, you may feel a mix of relief, clarity, and uncertainty. What happens next? Where do you go from here? You are not alone—and you do not need to figure it out by yourself.
Here is how we support you after diagnosis, every step of the way.
1. A Clear, Personalised Diagnostic Report
After your assessment, we give you a comprehensive report. It is not a checklist or a one-page summary. It is a detailed, clinician-led document designed to help you:
- Understand your (or your child’s) diagnosis in practical terms
- Get support from your school, workplace, GP, or local authority
- Make informed decisions about next steps
Every report includes clear, jargon-free recommendations tailored to your needs.
2. Multidisciplinary Sign-Off for Confidence and Accuracy
Your diagnosis is not based on one person’s view. At AADC, your assessment is reviewed and signed off by a team of clinicians, including psychologists, nurses, and psychiatrists. This ensures:
- Accuracy across neurodevelopmental conditions
- Credibility for schools, workplaces, and NHS professionals
- Peace of mind that nothing important has been missed
3. Medication Support (Where Clinically Appropriate)
If your diagnosis includes ADHD, medication may be one option to help manage symptoms. At AADC, we now offer a full medication service after diagnosis, where clinically appropriate.
You will receive:
- A follow-up consultation with a prescribing clinician
- A personalised discussion around medication options
- Ongoing reviews to ensure treatment is safe and effective
This means you can begin appropriate treatment sooner, without waiting months to access NHS prescribing routes.
4. Post-Diagnosis Coaching and Advice
Many people feel unsure what to do after a diagnosis. That is why we offer optional post-diagnosis support, such as
- One-to-one coaching to help you navigate life with ADHD or Autism
- Advice on work, school, relationships, and daily routines
- Resources for families, employers, and educators
This support helps turn understanding into action, so the diagnosis leads to real change.
5. Ongoing Support If You Need It
We are here to support you as much, or as little, as you need. Some people just want clarity. Others want to build a longer-term plan. Whatever you need, we can help with:
- Letters for your GP, employer, or school
- Signposting to therapy, occupational health, or specialist services
- Advice on how to talk about your diagnosis with others
Why It Matters
We know a diagnosis is more than just a label. It is a turning point. That is why our approach is designed to give you clarity, choice, and care, long after the report is written.
You deserve a pathway that goes beyond waiting lists and uncertainty. You deserve one that gives you the tools to move forward with confidence.
