How can a diagnosis help?

  • A diagnosis can help make sense of your life experiences, highlight your strengths, and improve self-worth. This can lead to increased self-kindness and self-compassion. 
  • For many people, receiving a diagnosis is an important step towards recognising and understanding their masking, which may then lead to exploring ways to begin to safely "unmask". 
  • It will help you, your family, friends, teachers, employer and/or colleagues to understand your strengths, as well as why you experience particular difficulties. This increased understanding will help you to support yourself and help others to support you in a meaningful way. 
  • An autism/ADHD diagnosis may correct a previous misdiagnosis and mean that any mental health difficulties can be better addressed. 
  • It may help you to get access to appropriate support, services and benefits. 
  • You will be entitled to have reasonable adjustments/accommodations made by your school, college, university, or employer.
  • It may help you to be able to identify with other neurodivergent people and connect with people with similar experiences. 
  • You will be able to access a wealth of resources created specifically for neurodivergent people.

Can't thank Autism Kent enough for the positive impact they've had on our lives. If you're seeking assistance for diagnosis or support, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to them. Their dedication to helping families like mine is truly remarkable.

We can highly recommend Dr Robb and her team at Autism Kent. We were guided through the process of ascertaining a diagnosis for our teenage son. The interviews and questions were professionally delivered but in a very gentle and kind manner to ameliorate stress for him and for us as parents.

Waited years for an assessment. It was easy, straightforward, and Isobel was lovely. Getting this diagnosis has helped me get the support I need—thank you.

Excellent service—professional, empathetic, and tailored perfectly to my needs. I was made to feel at ease throughout, with fantastic communication and feedback.
