We understand that many people who come to us for an ADHD assessment may already feel certain about what’s going on in their minds. You may have done your research, seen the signs in yourself or a loved one, and feel that a diagnosis is a natural next step. However, it’s important to recognise that while a diagnosis may be given, it’s not always guaranteed. Our responsibility is to provide a thorough, unbiased, and accurate assessment, ensuring we truly understand your experiences before reaching any conclusions.
We acknowledge that not receiving a diagnosis can sometimes be disappointing, especially if you came to us feeling sure that ADHD was the answer. This is a perfectly valid response, and we’re here to support you through it. That said, there are real benefits to a comprehensive assessment, even if it doesn’t confirm ADHD. It can lead to a better differential understanding, where we can explore other potential explanations for the difficulties you’re experiencing. This clarity can open up new pathways to support and strategies that may be more effective than a misapplied ADHD diagnosis.
It’s crucial to be aware of the risks associated with being too readily or incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD. If someone is diagnosed without a full, accurate assessment, they may be set on a path of support that isn’t right for them. This could mean interventions or treatments that don’t lead to the changes they’re hoping for, and it could prevent them from accessing the help they really need.
Ultimately, our aim is to empower you with knowledge. Understanding what’s happening, even if it’s not ADHD, allows you to explore the journey on your own terms. Whatever the outcome, a quality assessment provides you with a solid foundation of information, helping you make informed decisions about your next steps. Whether it confirms ADHD or points to something different, we’re committed to giving you clarity, confidence, and control over your own journey.
