Supporting Your Journey with ADHD and ASC
Understanding ADHD and ASC
At NATTC, we recognise the unique challenges faced by individuals with ADHD and ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition). We understand how difficult it can be to navigate life with the symptoms and complexities associated with ADHD or ASC. The anxiety, the frustration, the feeling of being misunderstood—these are experiences we empathize with deeply.
We provide a specialised screening triage to help identify these conditions and guide you through the next steps to get the support and assessment you need via a 3 week fast-track diagnostic assessment. Currently, this service is exclusively accessible to the MOD and blue light services, with goals to expand soon.
Our triage service is also available to immediate family members of MOD employees. This includes: Partners, Spouses and dependents from 16 years of age, ensuring more families can benefit from timely and efficient support.
Our highly experienced assessors offer screenings to identify potential ADHD and ASC. While these screenings are not medical diagnostic assessments, they are a crucial first step in building a picture of your needs and accessing the appropriate support. They also allow onward referral to clinical diagnostic assessments. Imagine finally having clarity and the relief of knowing you are not alone on this journey.
Our approach is empathetic and catered around you. We’re here to listen, understand, and support you. Your experiences, concerns, and needs matter to us. Together, we’ll help you find the answers and resources you need to thrive.
*We also provide comprehensive assessments for various Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) – Please contact us for more information.
Our Qualified Assessors
Our assessors are psychologists or specialist teacher/assessors specialising in specific learning difficulties with additional accredited qualifications in the identification of ADHD.
ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. People with ADHD may struggle with staying focused, controlling impulses, and completing tasks. It’s important to note that ADHD can present differently in each person and often coexists with other conditions.
Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming. Everyday tasks that others find simple, like organizing a schedule, sitting through a meeting, or even having a conversation, can be incredibly challenging. You might find yourself easily distracted, forgetting important details, or acting on impulse without thinking things through. These behaviours are not a lack of effort or care; they are part of how your brain processes information and stimuli.
It’s crucial to recognize that ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Some people may primarily experience difficulties with attention and focus, while others might struggle more with hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Many individuals with ADHD also contend with emotional regulation, often feeling their emotions more intensely and finding it harder to manage stress.
Furthermore, ADHD often coexists with other conditions such as anxiety, low mood or other learning differences, which can complicate the picture and make it even more challenging to manage daily life. This complexity underscores the importance of a comprehensive and empathetic approach to understanding and supporting those with ADHD.
At NATTC, we understand that living with ADHD can be a daily battle, filled with frustrations and misunderstood intentions. We are committed to providing compassionate support and practical solutions to help you navigate these challenges. Whether you’re seeking clarity for yourself or a loved one, our goal is to help you find the understanding and tools needed to lead a more fulfilling life.
ASC
Autism or Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), affects how a person interacts with others, communicates and experiences the world. Individuals with ASC may have difficulties with social interactions, exhibit repetitive behaviours and have unique ways of learning and problem-solving. Autism is a spectrum condition, meaning it can range in severity and present in various ways.
Living with ASC can mean experiencing the world in a unique and sometimes challenging way. Social interactions, which many take for granted, can feel like navigating an intricate maze. Understanding social cues, making eye contact, or engaging in casual conversation might be overwhelming or confusing. It’s not that individuals with ASC lack a desire for connection; rather, their way of connecting may differ from the norm.
ASC is a spectrum, meaning that no two individuals with ASC are the same. Some may require significant support in their daily lives, while others may live independently and excel in their areas of interest. This diversity is part of what makes ASC so complex and, at the same time, so rich in its variability.
It’s also common for individuals with ASC to have co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, or sensory processing issues. These additional challenges can make everyday life more complex and require a comprehensive, tailored approach to support and intervention.
At NATTC, we understand that living with ASC can be both challenging and rewarding. We are committed to providing compassionate support, recognizing each individual’s unique strengths and needs. Whether you are seeking to understand ASC for yourself or a loved one, our goal is to help you navigate this journey with empathy and practical guidance, ensuring you have the resources and support necessary to thrive.
