Choosing an ADHD or autism assessment is about more than finding someone qualified.
Professional training, clinical experience and specialist knowledge are essential. But we believe the people carrying out your assessment should bring something else to the room too: understanding.
At The Divergent Space, our assessment team combines extensive professional and educational backgrounds with real lived experience of neurodivergence.
Why does that matter?
Because ADHD and autism don’t always present neatly.
They can be hidden behind years of masking, carefully developed coping strategies, burnout, anxiety or a lifetime of feeling different without quite knowing why.
Especially for adults seeking an ADHD or autism assessment later in life, being understood beyond a checklist can make an enormous difference to the assessment experience.
Our team brings experience across psychology, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, NHS services and neurodivergent support alongside lived experience.
That shapes the way we work: person-centred, trauma-informed, collaborative and neurodivergent-affirming.
We want you to feel that the person assessing you understands both the clinical criteria and the person sitting in front of them.
