Meet Professor Jason Arday.

At 3, he was diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay. He did not speak until he was 11. He could not read or write until he was 18.

Today, he is the youngest Black professor at the University of Cambridge.

Jason’s journey is a powerful reminder that human potential is not defined by early struggles or the labels people place on us. With perseverance, support, and belief, what once seemed impossible can become reality.

👏 Here’s to breaking barriers, redefining limits, and proving the doubters wrong.

October is ADHD awareness month. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder and is characterised by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

ADHD however, is not just one narrowly defined experience. ADHD is fluid. Experiences can be shared, but they can also present differently depending on the individual. An individual may experience more symptoms of inattention, or more symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsivity, or a combination of both types of symptoms. ADHD does not look one way, each individual with ADHD may experience and present with ADHD differently and this may change across an individual’s lifespan.

When choosing a diagnostic service, consider a service that strives to understand you within the context of your life, experiences, development and values. Consider a service that does not just offer a diagnostic label, but a report and understanding about you as an individual, that presents difference in the context of strength, not solely focused on deficit. Where a diagnosis is offered, choose a service that helps you understand what that diagnosis really means for you, and helps you to move forward in a meaningful way. Where a diagnosis is not appropriate think about a service that doesn’t just close the door, but helps you to consider your next steps.

At WMAAAS we are proud to offer our clients an individualised service that will help you to find the answers you are looking for, whatever the outcome. Led by clinical psychologists, experts in understanding human behaviour and psychological presentation, you can expect a very detailed, in depth assessment, including objective measures of ADHD (e.g. computerised QB eye tracking tests), standardised clinical interview and full developmental history taking including school and medical review. Furthermore we operate as a multidisciplinary service with access to colleagues of other specialties where required.

We would just like to take a moment to introduce our founders, Dr Laura Onens and Dr Victoria Crooks. Laura and Victoria are doctors of clinical psychology and registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council. With many years of training in psychological assessments and interventions, Victoria and Laura both have National Health Service backgrounds and additional experience in private health. Over the years Laura and Victoria have been passionate about founding private services in order to offer additional quality mental health service options to the public, greater accessibility (by avoiding lengthy waiting lists) and person-centred evidence-based approaches with less constraint or restrictions. West Midlands Autism and ADHD Assessment Service (WMAAAS) was founded out of a shared desire to help clients ascertain whether neurodiversity may be relevant in their lives, without significant waiting times to do so. This is particularly important for clients who are struggling in their daily lives, yet finding it difficult to access support due to the challenges in accessing diagnostic services. Laura and Victoria are committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming quality assessments with the same (if not superior) level of rigour and depth you would expect from an NHS assessment. Resulting reports from our multidisciplinary team of professionals are certified as complying with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence Guidelines, which is essential in order to demonstrate credibility and reliability to third-party organisations. You can find out more about our founders and the services we offer by following this link www.wmaaas.co.uk in our bio.
