Getting very, very, tired of the media etc al constantly blaming the lack of support and resources for neurodivergent people on those being diagnosed, rather than a failure of infrastructure and investment. This wouldn't be accepted for other groups. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ADHD medication shortage: ‘We’re rationing meds to get by’
ADHD medication shortage: ‘We’re rationing meds to get by’

One woman tells the BBC she has resorted to sharing medication with others on similar prescriptions.

It's sickening that the consensus in the UK is that shortages in healthcare should be blamed on people seeking care. I know you say it's not accepted for other groups, but I regularly see people blaming fellow patients for A&E wait times as they perceive X or Y issue "not important enough".

Brexit, has considerably impacted the supply chain of many medications for sometime.

I get what you mean although I don't read it as blaming people for getting diagnosed. More awareness and therefore more diagnosis is a factor. But yes, it is troubling that the system is not working. No idea where they get 3% from. I scarcely know anyone who isn't ND.

It’s not only a shortage of ADHD medicines, there’s a general shortage supply across the board, one of the realities of Brexit that hasn’t been fully planned for.
