Neurodevelopmental Specialist Service

The Neurodevelopmental Specialist Service (NeSS) brings together the old adult autism service and the old adult ADHD service into one combined service.

They provide:

  • Diagnostic assessments for autism and ADHD
  • Support to understand the conditions, if needed
  • Short-term support for issues related to autism or ADHD
  • Medication to treat ADHD, which will then be transferred back to the GP
  • Advice and signposting for additional support, if needed
  • Support to other services (such as mental health services) if needed

They do not offer support for other mental health issues that can often go alongside autism and ADHD. These referrals should be made to mental health services.
