If 2025 was filled with questions…let 2026 be the year of answers.

Whether it’s for you or your child, getting an autism or ADHD assessment can bring clarity, understanding, and the right support moving forward.

We’re now taking January & February bookings across our all of our clinics, including Maidstone, Cambridge, Oxford, Chelmsford, Witney, and Hastings, plus online options available too.

If your child is autistic or has ADHD, it’s okay to do Christmas differently. Start gently preparing now and what we would advise to help your family this Christmas:

✨ Talk about what’s coming (and what’s staying the same)
✨ Use a simple countdown or calendar
✨ Build in rest days and quiet spaces
✨ Skip surprises if they cause anxiety, predictable is okay
✨ And remember: it’s okay to say no to traditions that don’t work for your family

The week before Christmas can feel ALOT, especially for neurodivergent children. Stimming is a way to self regulate when things get overwhelming.

Just remember: over Christmas, many children mask these behaviours around others.

👉🏼 Be the safe space. Understanding them is the first step to supporting them with compassion, not correction.

Low demand Christmas activities can be just as magical, without the stress. This time of year doesn’t have to be full on to feel festive.

Ever heard of the “eighth sense”? That’s interoception, our ability to sense what’s happening inside our body, is something we often see differences in during assessments for autism and ADHD.

It’s not talked about enough, yet it plays a huge role in how someone recognises hunger, thirst, pain, emotions, or the need for the toilet. When this internal “body radar” is harder to read, everyday life can feel confusing or overwhelming.

It’s about understanding why certain behaviours happen, so the right support can follow. If this sounds familiar and you’d like to explore it further, our team is here to help.

This is your reminder: Christmas doesn’t have to feel joyful.

If the noise, chaos, pressure, or change in routine feels like too much, especially for neurodivergent kids or adults, you’re not alone. You’re just human or supporting someone who is feeling it all a little more deeply.

Honour what you need this Christmas ✨

Does your child miss their breaktime because of traits linked to ADHD or autism? 😫

Maybe they’re kept in for not finishing work… or need time to recover from overwhelm. But for many neurodivergent children, breaktime isn’t just a reward it’s a regulation tool they really need.

👉🏼If you’re a teacher - how do you approach this?
👉🏼If you’re a parent - has this happened to your child?

It’s that moment when your child suddenly decides to build a Lego city for 4 hours straight, but can’t sit through 10 minutes of homework.

Or when you deep dive into a new hobby at midnight, forget to eat, forget to sleep… but it feels so good to finally be doing something.

That’s hyperfocus.

And while it can look like incredible productivity… It often comes with burnout after, other important things get missed and people around don’t always understand.

Learning to spot it is the first step to managing it. Have you (or your child) experienced this?

If you’ve always struggled with this time of year and wondered why, this post might hit home.

These are real words from real people who later discovered they were autistic or had ADHD, and suddenly, it all made sense.
