Please note:
Temporary pause to referrals – Andover Autism and ADHD Community Hub
To ensure we can continue providing a safe, high-quality service, referrals into the Andover Autism and ADHD Community Hub are being temporarily paused while we strengthen the team.
This is a temporary measure to help us maintain the quality of support for people already accessing the service, while we increase capacity.
While referrals are temporarily paused, individuals may wish to access other sources of information and support where appropriate, more information can be found at:

Our priority is to ensure everyone who accesses the service receives the support they need. Thank you for your patience and understanding while referrals are temporarily paused. We look forward to welcoming new referrals again as soon as possible.
Our ADHD and Autism Hub, supported by Autism Hampshire, provides specialist peer support for individuals who are neurodivergent and find that this has an impact on their daily life, regardless of diagnosis. We recognise that neurodivergence can significantly impact daily life and emotional wellbeing, and our service is designed to meet these specific needs with understanding and compassion.
We offer a a full assessment of need and support plan, taking into account your neurodiversity and how this affects your day-to-day experiences. Together, we co-produce a goal-oriented plan to help guide your journey toward improved wellbeing. These goals can be met through up to 6, 1 to 1 peer support sessions or attending the peer support groups and workshops within the hub.
Our peer support groups are safe and supportive space where individuals can connect with others who share similar experiences. You can participate as much or as little as you like, and all meetings are confidential, non-judgmental and cover sensitive issues.
We also run a range of workshops and courses, you can access following your assessment, to support your recovery journey. These include understanding autism or ADHD, self-advocacy, emotional regulation skills, unmasking and more.
There is a new, free service in Hampshire that helps adults with autism or ADHD find information, chat with advisors and get support even if they don’t have an official diagnosis. The service offers flexible support through face-to-face and online appointments, as well as telephone, email and digital resources and can be accessed through https://www.autismhampshire.org.uk/ .
Our service is grounded in coproduction, and there will be regular opportunities for you to take part in shaping the service through coproduction meeting to ensure our hub is aligned with the needs of the community. We aim to support neurodivergent individuals to navigate recovery with greater understanding, community, and confidence.
