“Thanks to you, Eleanor and Jennifer for all your hard work with my ADHD diagnosis and my daughter’s ADHD and ASD diagnosis too. Firstly, I can’t believe the quality of your reports, as they appeared to fast track both mine and X’s pathway into the NHS to access medication for us both…I am aware many other families or individuals locally haven’t had the same luck we have, post and pre-diagnosis, with crazy waiting times. But I don’t think it’s luck, it’s down to your excellent and very thorough assessments. Our GP also said your reports were just that. We can’t thank you and your team enough, it’s given our family such an insight and awareness of each other and our needs. Even extending that to my parents, it’s improved their understanding of me, and even my mum’s of my dad!”
