Autism Anglia reopened its diagnostic service in Colchester in Nov 2025 to tackle England’s 227,000+ autism and ADHD referral backlog.
In November 2025, Autism Anglia relaunched its autism and ADHD diagnostic service in Colchester, responding to a national backlog with over 227,000 open referrals in England—most exceeding the 13-week NHS target.
Led by Jenny Jackson and Courtenay Paton, the service supports individuals across the UK, offering pre-diagnosis letters for accommodations, support groups, and assessments.
Staff emphasize that while diagnoses are still labeled as disorders clinically, they prefer "condition" and view them as tools for understanding needs.
The team highlights neurodiversity as a strength, addresses the mental health toll of masking—especially among girls and women—and stresses the importance of emotional support and being heard during assessments.
