Average Wait Time
You’ve built something extraordinary!
Imagine understanding exactly how your brain made that possible. You’ve always worked differently. You think faster, feel more intensely, and operate at a pace most people can’t keep up with. You’ve turned what others called a weakness into your greatest asset.
But there’s always been a nagging question. What if there’s a reason for all of it?
The Driven Mind is Makewell’s private ADHD and autism assessment pathway, designed specifically for professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers who are ready for answers – without the jargon, the waiting lists, or the one-size-fits-all approach.
You didn’t get here by thinking small
Understanding your brain is the next step. Not because something is wrong with you – but because you’ve always deserved to know exactly what makes you brilliant.
No GP referral needed. No waiting list. Just a straightforward conversation and a clear path forward.
• Nurse-led and clinician-delivered – not a tick-box service. Every assessment is carried out by qualified specialists.
• Fast, transparent timelines – no years on a waiting list. We work to your schedule.
• Lived experience at our core – our founder is an adoptive parent to three neurodivergent daughters. This isn’t just clinical work for us. It’s personal.
• NICE-guideline compliant reports – accepted by GPs, employers, and professional bodies.
• Post-diagnosis continuity – we offer a full pathway, not just a report.
• Confidential and discreet – we understand that for many professionals, privacy matters. Your assessment is completely confidential.
Intelligence, drive, and coping strategies can mask ADHD and autism for decades. High-achieving individuals often find workarounds that allow them to function – and even excel – without ever understanding the underlying neurology.
For women especially, ADHD and autism present differently from the textbook picture, and are frequently missed entirely. The result?
Years of being told you’re too emotional, too sensitive, too disorganised – when the truth is simply that your brain is wired differently.
A diagnosis doesn’t diminish what you’ve achieved. It explains how you achieved it – and shows you what more is possible.
Neurodivergence and high performance are more closely linked than most people realise. Research and surveys consistently show:
• 35% of entrepreneurs identify as dyslexic – significantly higher than the general population (approx. 10%). Studies by Cass Business School and the British Dyslexia Association have highlighted this link repeatedly.
• ADHD affects an estimated 6–8% of adults, but research suggests it is significantly underdiagnosed – particularly in women and high-functioning individuals who have developed coping strategies.
• A 2021 study found that entrepreneurs are 6x more likely to have ADHD than the general population (Wiklund et al., Journal of Business Venturing).
• Up to 40% of self-made millionaires are estimated to be dyslexic or have other neurodivergent traits, according to research cited by the Made By Dyslexia campaign.
• Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Simone Biles, Emma Watson, and Greta Thunberg have all spoken publicly about their neurodivergence — and how it has shaped their success.
• ADHD traits including hyperfocus, risk tolerance, creativity, and pattern recognition are increasingly recognised as entrepreneurial superpowers when properly understood and channelled.
You don’t have to have struggled to get here. Many of our clients are highly successful by every external measure. What they share is a sense that understanding themselves more deeply would unlock something even greater.
• You think ten steps ahead but sometimes struggle to start
• You do your best work under pressure – sometimes only under pressure
• You have brilliant ideas but find execution exhausting
• You’ve always been ‘a lot’ – intense, driven, sensitive, or restless
• You’ve found your own systems for coping – but coping is tiring
• You feel deeply but don’t always know why social situations drain you
• You’ve been told you’re ‘too much’ – but your ‘too much’ is what makes you exceptional
• You’ve wondered, more than once, whether your brain works differently – and whether that has a name
