There has also been a big increase in referrals for autism and ADHD assessment in recent years, leading to large waiting lists and lengthy waiting times. We launched the Neurodiversity Transformation Programme in 2023 to understand these challenges and explore possible solutions.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about the work of the programme on the following pages.
