Hi all,

Late diagnosed AuDHD, life is a wreck as some of you can imagine - I attribute a lot of mess down to things beyond my control and highest on the list is poor support which is continuing post diagnosis - it's so bad I am using it as evidence for relocation and eventually taking legal action against my (current) local NHS trust, its having a very real effect on my ability to recover from burnout and after much deliberation I will be relocating with assistance or without (without is a matter of time due to current impulses and a lack of ADHD medication or support post confirmation) - I have approached local autism services for any information or advice on areas where there is better support and understanding but get generic replies much like what is spouted out when asking that artificial "intelligence".

So, first post here, where in the UK do you think is or have good knowledge on being a good location for a neurodivergent individuals?

Urban, suburban and rural all considered - please provide any information, testimony, links to services to support your opinion/knowledge

  • First of all welcome!

    One piece of research that might be useful is whether a region allows for adult diagnosis at all? That tends to then effect services as if they don't diagnose anyone, they don't have a group to need to offer services to?

    Also I was thinking that bigger places like large towns/cities might have more budget for services? Certainly, that's my experience!

    That doesn't map in Scotland, where some diagnositic pathways have closed because those places are overwhelmed by deamnd and have enough dealing with the cases they already have.

    In the Scottish experience, it's overloaded services that give way first and adult diagnosis follows. Other places may have a different experience.
