Hot Topic: ADHD Referrals Denied After 25? What the NHS Isn’t Telling You


Listen Later

🔥In this week's Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott unpack the announcement that Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust has temporarily suspended adult ADHD referrals for people over 25, and our hosts are fired up. What does this mean for late-diagnosed adults? Why is 'Right to Choose' being left out of the conversation? And how does this reflect a bigger systemic issue around neurodivergent care in the UK?


🎙️ With wit, passion, and deep lived experience, the hosts dive into:

  • Coventry and Warwickshire NHS says it’s to prioritize children—but is that the full story?
  • Why cutting off care for adults sends a harmful message to undiagnosed neurodivergents.
  • Right to Choose: The NHS ADHD Loophole They’re Not Telling You About
  • From improved emotional regulation to better executive function, Jordan and Simon share raw, personal stories of how diagnosis and medication transformed their lives.
  • How ADHD affects more than focus—covering overstimulation, fatigue, and the misunderstood benefits of medication.
