What you can expect when going through the Autism and/or ADHD Assessment Pathway

Introduction

The post assessment pathway documents for Autism and ADHD can be found on this page. These documents have been developed in collaboration with education, health and care colleagues as well as parent carers, children and young people. They have been developed to support education settings, practitioners, and parent carers so that everyone better understands the post-assessment pathway.

Services that also support neurodiverse children and young people include:

If you have any questions about the pathway or the documents on this page, please email: AutismADHDPreassessmentPathway@somerset.gov.uk

Celebrating strengths and differences

Autism Education Trust have created a video celebrating autistic strengths and differences.

Recognising and understanding these differences leads to better support being available for autistic children and young people.  Key to this understanding is recognising that the autistic spectrum is not a single line from low to high; it is a complex combination of many overlapping characteristics.  While there may be some shared characteristics, every autistic person is unique, with their own strengths, differences and needs.  Being different is something to be celebrated.
