Pre & Post Diagnostic Assessment Support

The Pre and Post Diagnostic Mentoring Support at Matthew's Hub offers a unique opportunity to talk to other neurodivergent people. Our mentoring sessions are delivered by our team of neurodivergent peer mentors who have lived experience alongside knowledge through working with other autistic and/or ADHD adults and young people.

Pre Diagnostic mentoring is a space for individuals on the waiting list for an autism and/or ADHD assessment to discuss their upcoming assessment and ask any questions they may have. Whilst our mentoring team cannot offer their opinions on the likelihood of diagnosis or give specific information on what the assessment entails, they can support you to explore your feelings around your upcoming assessment and what may happen after this.

Post Diagnostic mentoring is a space for someone to explore their diagnosis, at a time when they are ready to do so. This may involve learning more about autism and/or ADHD, reflecting on how it impacts you as an individual, discussing your own traits and experiences with another neurodivergent person, and provides an opportunity to explore and develop strategies to minimise (if possible) associated difficulties.

Mentoring sessions can be in person or online depending on the individuals preference. For pre assessment mentoring we can offer 1/2 sessions, and for post mentoring we can offer up to 3/4.

Post diagnostic mentoring is available to all our members 13+ who have a diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD.

Pre diagnostic mentoring is only available to our members 18+ who are on the waiting lists for an assessment of autism and/or ADHD.
