In March 2020, I sought an ADHD diagnosis after lockdown highlighted my symptoms and went with Dr Mason who at the time was doing online assessments only due to Covid. I was a bit worried for a few reasons: 1) I didn't have anyone who knew me as a child to bring along to the appointment, 2) I believe I'm also on the autistic spectrum and wasn't sure how that affected any potential ADHD diagnosis, 3) I am a gay trans man and that can sometimes be a mixed bag with medical professionals. Dr Mason doesn't diagnose autism but I told him of my concerns around that and it was not a problem. He was able to use the information I gave him and that from my partner to assess me, and I was never made to feel uncomfortable at all about being part of the LGBTQ+ community. The whole assessment didn't take more than 2 hours (not including emailing over a few forms he asked me to fill out beforehand) and it involved him asking questions, me giving answers and then giving me his diagnosis at the end. I was diagnosed with ADHD and he started me on medication right away. Though I had to try a couple different ones to find the right one for me, it has made an amazing difference to my life. He and his team are always very professional, friendly and I always feel like I have input into my treatment. As it turns out a lot of my friends have also started to suspect they may have ADHD, so I have been recommending Dr Mason to all of them! I now see that his waiting list is entirely full which speaks to how excellent a service his team provides.
