Hi there I was diagnosed with ADHD about a month ago and this is my first post here. Nice to meet you all :-) I didn't create this, but I thought it was worth promoting given that those who seek ADHD assessments in the NHS must in most cases wait at least a year (and in some extreme cases up to five): petition.parliament.uk/petitions/597840You can sign if you're a UK resident (of any nationality) or a British citizen who lives overseas. As I write it has 2,636 signatures. If it gets to 10,000 before 7 April then the government will respond. At 100,000 it would be considered for a debate in parliament.

Post not showing for me so I've reposted it. BTW I've signed the petition, I'm currently on a 2 year waiting list.

Thanks for that. And yeah, the situation is shocking. I couldn't face the wait and paid a painful amount of money, which really should go towards a house deposit, to do it all privately. It'd be good to see some momentum behind this petition.

I can’t even find a surport group in my area. I’ve moved from Newcastle to Darlington so I can get surport as I’ve been in this journey since I was 22 , and been untreated cos I couldn’t keep ontop of things , appointments etc and it effected my life for so long. But now at 37 and my son being diagnosed and my dad . Trying to ring support I can’t believe there isn’t much , it’s so sad
