What does everyday life feel like with Autism?
Autism means the brain processes information, communication and sensory input differently. It is not a disease to cure. Support focuses on understanding needs, reducing barriers and providing adjustments such as education support, workplace accommodations, therapy and community resources. Diagnosis is often the gateway to appropriate support.

What are ADHD symptoms
ADHD symptoms fall into three core areas. Inattention includes distractibility, forgetfulness, difficulty starting or finishing tasks and poor time awareness. Hyperactivity can be physical or internal, restlessness, racing thoughts or feeling driven. Impulsivity includes interrupting, acting without thinking and difficulty regulating emotions. Symptoms must be persistent, impairing and present from childhood to meet diagnostic criteria.

ADHD and dopamine in winter, what really changes and how to overcome it
In winter, reduced daylight lowers dopamine and serotonin activity. For people with ADHD, who already have differences in dopamine regulation, this can intensify low motivation, fatigue and brain fog. Sleep patterns often shift and routines loosen, which further reduces focus. Practical countermeasures include strict sleep and wake times, morning daylight exposure even on overcast days, structured daily schedules, regular movement and reviewing medication timing with a clinician if symptoms worsen.

January doesn’t wrap things up neatly for everyone.
And that’s ok.

For some people, clarity takes time.
For others, the questions are still sitting there quietly.

There’s no deadline on understanding yourself.

No pressure to have it all figured out by the end of the month.

If you’re still reflecting, still processing, or still unsure what support might help, that’s a valid place to be.

After assessment, families or individuals receive a clear diagnostic outcome, written report and recommendations. Where appropriate, this includes medication options, therapy, coaching, school or workplace adjustments and ongoing clinical follow up. Assessment is the starting point, not the end of support.

NHS waiting times for child ADHD assessments can extend to several years depending on region. Our private pathway offers significantly shorter waits, clear timelines and continuity of care, while maintaining clinical standards aligned with national guidance.

Large lifestyle overhauls fail for ADHD brains. Progress comes from small, repeatable actions. Examples include setting one fixed wake up time, choosing one priority task per day, using visual reminders rather than memory and building habits around existing routines. Consistency beats intensity.

Autism is diagnosed more frequently in boys, roughly three to one. This does not necessarily reflect true prevalence. Girls often present differently, with better social imitation, internalised distress and masking behaviours. As a result, many autistic girls and women are missed or misdiagnosed, often until adulthood.
