Resources
Figuring out how to best look after yourself as an adult with ADHD can be a confusing process. The following pages link to UK-based resources that can help us to figure it out.
01
Waiting lists for diagnosis through the NHS can be up to seven years depending on the area you live in. But if you don't go for a referral, it's going to be a whole lot longer than that! Get the ball rolling and explore options for speeding the process up here.
02
Many workplaces in the UK are not set up to make the most of the diverse brains that work in them. Whether you're employed or self employed, experienced or just starting out, find ways to make sure that you are working effectively here.
Includes links to Government support and funding.
03
For study
If you're a student, or considering becoming one in the next year or two, then it's worth considering how your ADHD might impact that. DSA (Disability Student Allowance) helps you to access technology and guidance that can make all the difference, and initiatives like coworking groups can also help. Find out more here.
04
For life
Recognising your ADHD throws open new ways of looking at your whole life. New perspectives from which you view your identity, your history, your struggles and joys can include questioning long-held beliefs and recognising strains on mental health and personal relationships. Find support for yourself and those who care about you.
