It’s not about ‘mild’ or ‘severe’ and most people misunderstand how autism severity is actually assessed.

If you have ADHD or are autistic, it’s not just in your head, it’s how your brain and nervous system are wired.

Your brain processes information, emotions and sensory input differently. This can mean:
• Emotions are felt more quickly and more strongly
• The “pause” between feeling and reacting is shorter
• It can take longer for your nervous system to calm back down

In ADHD, this is linked to differences in emotional regulation and impulse control, the brain struggles to filter and manage emotional responses.

In autism, it’s often connected to sensory processing and overwhelm, when your brain is already overloaded, emotions can feel much bigger and harder to contain.

So what might feel like a small situation to someone else can feel intense and consuming for you.

It’s not that you’re overreacting.
It’s that your brain is processing more and faster.

Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) aren’t just about how a child talks.

It can affect how they understand language, express themselves, follow instructions, and make sense of the world around them.

A child with SLCN might:
▪struggle to find the right words
▪ say “I don’t know” a lot
▪get frustrated or overwhelmed
▪find it hard to follow what’s being said

It’s often mistaken for behaviour… when really, it’s a communication difficulty. And when a child can’t express what they need or understand what’s happening around them, everything can feel harder.

With the right support, things can change.

We offer Speech, Language and Communication Needs assessments with our specialist team, including detailed reports and clear next steps.

Our Speech and Language Therapists can also provide assessments with specific recommendations to support Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

📩 DM us for more info.

We’re still missing autistic girls and the impact shows up in their mental health.

Autism in girls often looks different, which means many go without an early autism diagnosis and are instead seen through anxiety or mental health difficulties.

This is why… 🔈
