Links to information about ADHD, ASD and other associated conditions

In 2024, we asked an organisation called Neurodiverse Connection (www.ndconnection.co.uk) to produce a resource for families with neurodivergent children, and professionals involved in supporting them. This is a very comprehensive resource with many further links, articles and videos and can be found here: Neurodiversity Pathway Resource Pack
