Noise From The City: Lived Experiences Over Labels
Dear Somebody,
A leading ADHD support network that operates across Merseyside has bypassed the need for a formal diagnosis to help more than 4000 families, prioritising lived experiences over clinical diagnosis to help families access neurodivergent support.
ADDvanced Solutions Community Network operates across Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens and the Wirral. It offers support, advice and vital guidance for individuals and families navigating the struggles that come with Autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
With NHS waiting lists at record highs for ADHD and Autism assessments with some in Merseyside having to wait between three and six years for an ADHD assessment according to QUAY Healthcare, ADDvanced Solutions offers support without an official diagnosis or GP referral.
Director of ADDVanced Solutions, Vanda Reeves, explained that the decision to eliminate these barriers for support is core to the organisation’s philosophy. The open-door policy addresses a critical gap in community healthcare, where long NHS waiting lists often leave families stranded without support for months or even years. ADDvanced Solutions aims to ensure that help is immediate and accessible.
For those in need of support you can contact ADDvanced solutions at 0151 486 1788 or the Child Autism UK helpline at 01344 882248.
Sincerely,
Liverpool Noise
