Our Vision
"Making Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Assessments accessible, affordable, and manageable for those who need them most since 2020."
The Endee Diagnostic Centre (part of the Neurodiversity Training International Group) is a groundbreaking diagnostic centre that brings lived experience, professional experience, and the human element to discovering who you and your children are. We have multiple in-person locations throughout the U.K. and ROI, with our flagship in-person location at the Health Professionals Hub, L'Derry. We pride ourselves on making the process manageable, wherever and however you or your young people are.
Many find the process of finding a diagnosis stressful, intimidating, riddled with stigma, expensive, with more waiting lists, and just downright scary. Whether you are a parent at your wits' end, or an adult extremely nervous about coming forward, you are in safe, caring hands that will support you no matter what.
Our Mission is to ensure that parents and adults can discover their identity to take that first step in not just validation, but compassion, empathy, and support. We want to reassure you that you are safe to come forward and we will not close doors on you or hold you back from making progress. We see you, we hear you, and most importantly, we believe you. People who don't believe themselves or their children to be Autistic/ADHD, are great at not contacting us or searching endlessly online.
Our Perspective - we want to empower you to do what feels right for you, or your child. There is no harm in finding out if you or your children are Autistic or ADHD. We can give you answers. There should be no barriers, no gatekeeping, or pain. We want to give you and your family autonomy to get the right answers and support without waiting lists, approval, or setbacks.
Our Stance on "Recognition" - The diagnostic team here at the Endee Diagnostic Centre are all fully registered, and follow the NICE guidelines, and diagnostic criteria. Many ask "are your assessments recognised for further support?" Our stance is that the reason you are reading this page is because public services have left you feeling abandoned, why would you go back to them? A diagnostic should be solely for the reason of finding out if you or your child are Autistic or ADHD to understand yourself/them a little bit better. Further support on public services is not guaranteed, even when public services give a diagnosis.
What Makes Endee Different?
The Endee Diagnostic Centre is led by neurodivergent individuals who bring both lived and professional experiences to the table, creating an empathetic, and stress-free experience.
We are here to guide you through the process, and we will never do enough for you. You don't need to plead, beg, or have your battle voice on when approaching us. We are here to help, and go through this as a team. If you are a parent at your wits end, or an extremely anxious adult - we will take care of you.
