We are extremely sorry but due to high demand, we made the hard decision to close our waiting list for clinical psychologists and assistant psychologists for the time being.

We remain open to enquiries for autism and ADHD assessments.

We are very very sorry and hope to be able to offer psychological support again in the not too distant future.

⭐️Congratulations to clinicians in our Every Mind team (Ines Martin, Dr Kerstin Thirlwall, Dr Liz Dawes and Dr Jen Swanston) on their recent publication in Child & Family Clinical Psychology review, titled ⭐️⭐️

'What good, neuro-affirming, autism assessments look like: Best practices and key considerations'

This article promotes neuro-affirming practice and how this can best be delivered within autism diagnostic assessments.

It's a fine line to treat between providing diagnostic assessments which adhere to NICE guidelines and DSM-V criteria, but also respects and celebrates neurodivergence, recognising strengths and the individual behind the description.

At Every Mind, we are proud and privileged to be part of autism diagnostic assessments that do just this. We take time to get to know you and your family, understand who your child is, and celebrate their strengths and neurotype.

When we thought we had taken steps forward in understanding and awareness, so unfounded claims set to move us back a million miles.

This claim in unfounded and shameful. America must be a scary place to live for autistic people and their families.

We stand with Ambitious about Autism and so many other platforms who continue to fight for the respect and rights of autistic people.

The US government has linked the pain reliever Tylenol – known as paracetamol in the UK – to autism. The evidence to suggest paracetamol use in pregnancy increases the likelihood of a baby being autistic is very weak and based on poorly conducted studies.

We challenge any policy that is based on unsound evidence and that could put autistic people, their families and the wider public at risk. We stand with autistic children and young people, their families and other UK autism charities to call out this dangerous misinformation.
