Welcome to WaitingWell

WaitingWell is an online, holistic initiative designed to support individuals on neurodiversity waiting lists across the UK.

The programme acknowledges the lengthy waiting times for an Autism or ADHD assessment, which can evoke a complex mix of emotions, including frustration, apprehension and concern about the outcome. These feelings are common and understandable given the uncertainties in the diagnostic process.

WaitingWell seeks to support people, both young and old, by offering practical information, evidence-based strategies and meaningful support both before and after a diagnosis.
