Neurodivergent young people may need support in different ways. Every person is unique, but whatever support they need, there are organisations that can help.
Young people who are neurodivergent may be living with one or more neurodevelopmental conditions. These include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette’s syndrome. This website focuses on autism and ADHD, because a review carried out by the NHS in Dorset identified a need for improved access to information and support on those conditions. However, this section of our site also includes links to information on other conditions, to support Dorset’s wider neurodivergent community.
There are many organisations that young people over the age of 18 may also find helpful.
