Disability and Neurodivergence Awareness Month 2025 - Unmasking the Mind: Late ADHD Diagnosis and the Power of Understanding

Curator

In recent years, we’ve seen a huge rise in awareness around ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions but also an overwhelming demand for support. For many students and young adults, the journey to diagnosis is long, confusing, and emotionally draining. The strain on the NHS means waiting lists for assessments can stretch for months, even years. Many people spend their formative years feeling “different,” without the language or understanding to explain why.
Our project aims to start that conversation. To make people feel seen, validated, and understood, whether they’re newly diagnosed, still waiting for answers, or simply curious about neurodiversity.
