The "Overdiagnosis" Review: What It Actually Means

Autistic Storytime With David

The headlines say autism and ADHD are being overdiagnosed. The actual review says something considerably more careful than that.

In this episode I go through what the Fonagy Review interim report really found, why it matters that it lands on the desk of a benefits review three months before eligibility rules get rewritten, and what could realistically change for five practical things: getting an assessment, PIP, EHCPs and school, work, and the question underneath all of it.

No hot takes, no reassurance I can’t back up. Just what is happening, and what to do about it.

Content note: this episode discusses benefits assessments, diagnostic waiting lists, and the experience of having your diagnosis questioned publicly.
