Thank you to 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 for inviting us to their Solihull HQ this week for a 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 with their team.

Dr Zoe McGovern and Dr Jessica Donohoe delivered a session on autism and ADHD in the workplace, covering everything from recognising signs of neurodivergence to thinking practically about how to create more supportive environments.

The conversations were thoughtful, and it was great to see so much openness and curiosity from everyone who joined. Phoebus is clearly taking steps to build an inclusive culture where people feel understood and valued.

We’re at the National Neurodiversity Shows Midlands today at The Coventry Building Society Arena.

It’s a great opportunity to connect with individuals and organisations who are committed to making real and lasting changes around how neurodivergence is understood and supported.

Our Clinical Directors will also be delivering a session on recognising subtle and masked presentations of autism and ADHD. Some people, especially girls, women and those who internalise their experiences, may not be identified early or at all because their traits do not match common stereotypes. This session explores how things like masking, gender and mental health can influence how neurodivergence is expressed and recognised, and why this matters when it comes to assessment and support.

If you’re attending, come and say hello. We’d love to chat.

Our newest assessment hubs in and are now open, expanding our reach and reducing the distance between people and the support they deserve.

We know that every person’s experience is different. That’s why our assessments are shaped by neuroaffirming practice, clinical expertise and a commitment to meeting people where they are.

These new hubs mean more choice, shorter waits, and greater access to assessments that recognise strengths, needs and identities.

Whether you’re looking for clarity, understanding or simply a space that feels safe, we’re here.

Our Clinical Directors, Jess and Zoe, recently met with Michelle Mills-Porter following the 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Michelle is a behaviour profiler, speaker, and advocate with lived experience of ADHD.

Their conversation centred around what Michelle beautifully describes as “𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙨” and how understanding personality and behaviour can help us better recognise and value the many ways people experience the world.

At Autism Assessment Hub, we recognise that isn’t something to fix or change. It’s a natural variation in how people think, feel and communicate. When we stop expecting individuals to adapt to rigid environments and instead focus on how environments can better support people, we begin to move towards genuine inclusion.

Whether it’s autism, ADHD, dyslexia or beyond, exploring behaviour and personality through a thoughtful, neuroaffirming lens can:

• Highlight individual strengths
• Guide meaningful, personalised support
• Challenge outdated assumptions
• Help create environments where everyone feels they belong

It’s not about asking people to fit in, it’s about changing the spaces we build around them.

We’re looking forward to staying connected with Michelle and exploring ways to support each other’s work in the future.

We’re proud to be growing our support network with the opening of two new assessment hubs in and .

Every individual deserves access to assessments that recognise who they are, not just what they present. Our team leads with care, curiosity and clinical expertise - offering a space where neurodivergent people can feel safe, respected, and understood.
