Neuro Developmental Disorders (NDD)
-
The NDD service is made up of two teams: The Adult Autism Diagnostic & Consultation Service and the Adult ADHD Clinic.
The Adult Autism service is funded as a diagnostic service for adults with suspected autism. The service provides autism diagnostic assessments in line with NICE guidelines: including a background history interview, mental state examination, ADOS-2 module 4, and 3Di-adult (where possible). A follow up appointment to discuss outcome of the assessment and recommendations is given around three weeks after the assessment. Service users are signposted and referred on following this, as appropriate.
The Adult Autism service also provides consultation to professionals working with those with diagnosed or suspected ASD. The nature of the consultation varies but can include recommendations for support for those with autism, discussions around adaptations to therapies being offered, and discussions around suitability for referral for assessment. The service also provides training around autism for other Camden & Islington teams.
The ADHD clinic is funded as both a diagnostic and treatment service for adults with suspected and confirmed ADHD. The service has two arms: medical and psychology. The medical side of the service provides ADHD diagnostic assessments. Following diagnosis, service users are informed of their options with regards to medication for ADHD. They will be titrated and stabilised on ADHD medication if they choose to do so. Once medication is stabilised, they will be discharged to their GP for medication prescribed under a shared care agreement. Following discharge from the medical side of the team, the psychology side of the team provides short term CBT for ADHD where required, mostly delivered in a six week group format.
