You'll probably be aware that much of the neurodiversity support available depends on a positive diagnosis of a neurodiverse condition.
But as we are all different and have our own unique ways of thinking and doing things, it’s important to ensure you’re confident you may be neurodivergent before committing to securing a formal diagnosis. We would always recommend speaking with your GP or other health professional to explore this further.
The handy tests and quizzes below have been developed by neurodiversity experts to help you understand and identify whether you might present the signs of a neurodiverse condition. They are intended as a first step towards a formal diagnosis – however, they should not be considered a diagnosis in themselves.
Take a look at the tests below that are of interest to you and find out whether you might be neurodivergent. Visit our ‘What to do if you think you might be neurodivergent’ page to find out what to do next. This is not an exhaustive list – it is simply intended as a starting point to help you find out whether you may need a formal diagnosis.
We know that when you’re struggling emotionally, practically and financially, often the hardest step to take is reaching out and asking for support. And these challenges can have even more of an impact if you’re neurodivergent. But everyone experiences challenges in life, and it’s important to remember that you are not alone – after all, there are thousands of neurodiverse engineers just like you around the world, many of whom may be in a similar situation.
Our support is here to help you live better and thrive – whatever your circumstances. So if you’re ready to get in touch with us, we’re ready to listen to your needs and offer whatever support we can.
