NeuroDirect was created to support neurodivergent individuals and those exploring the possibility of neurodivergence. Our mission is to connect you with the UK’s most qualified and trusted clinicians specialising in neurodiversity. Finding the right clinician at the right time is essential for effective support and intervention, and we’re here to make that process easier for you.
NeuroDirect was founded and created by UK based HCPC registered Clinical Psychologists that specialise in the field of neurodivergence. Neurodivergent and neurotypical professionals, alongside potential directory users have helped to shape the development and planning of NeuroDirect.
UK-wide specialist network
Verified & trusted profiles
Every specialist is carefully reviewed to ensure credibility and professional standards
Why does NeuroDirect exist?
NeuroDirect was born from the real-life challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families. Finding a credible professional specialising in neurodiversity shouldn’t be a struggle, yet so many face endless waitlists or are turned away from services simply because of their diagnosis. This lack of accessible support is unacceptable, and NeuroDirect is here to change that.
Our mission is to increase choice and connection by providing a trusted directory of qualified specialists in autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent support across the UK. By bridging the gap between those seeking help and professionals ready to offer it, we’re helping to create a future where no one has to face these barriers alone.
Start Your Journey with Trusted Tools
We also provide access to free, research-informed screening tools for common neurodivergent traits. These are not diagnostic tools but can help guide your next steps.
NeuroDirect understands that this directory needs to continue to evolve and avoid being static. That’s why we welcome your views. Whether it is a suggestion about the site in general, a question about how to use it, or something you feel should be added to a professional bio, we’d love to connect.
ADHD screening tests
ASRS-5
A quick, six-question screening tool developed by the WHO to identify signs of adult ADHD. Commonly used by clinicians as a first step in ADHD assessments.
ASRS-v1.1
A more detailed 18-question version of the ASRS, helping identify the presence and severity of ADHD symptoms across two core domains: inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
ESQ-R
This tool helps assess executive function challenges such as organisation, time management, and emotional regulation, traits often associated with ADHD and related conditions.
Autism tests
RAADS-R
A widely used self-assessment tool designed for adults who suspect they may be on the autism spectrum. It helps highlight patterns in social, sensory, and communication traits.
RAADS-14
A shortened, research-backed version of the RAADS-R, designed for quicker screening of autism-related traits in adults, often used in clinical settings.
AQ
Developed by researchers at Cambridge University, the AQ measures autistic traits in adults through 50 questions. It’s one of the most commonly referenced autism screeners.
CAT-Q
This tool assesses the extent to which an individual may be masking or camouflaging their autistic traits — particularly useful for understanding gender and social presentation differences.
EQ
The EQ measures emotional empathy, a common challenge for some autistic individuals. It’s often used alongside other autism screening tools.
RBQ-2A
Focuses specifically on identifying repetitive behaviours and sensory sensitivities, helping to identify traits that are strongly associated with autism in adults.
