ASD is a neurodevelopmental difference and can fall into the category of ‘neurodiversity’, a term used to consider the natural differences in brain functioning in the human population. It affects how people interact with others, communicate, and learn.
In Ireland, it’s estimated that about 1 in every 65 children is on the autism spectrum, according to the Department of Health. Other sources suggest it could be as common as 1 in 27 people overall.
Our Adult Autism (ASD) Assessment provides a clear autism diagnosis, along with personalised feedback and practical advice on the next steps for therapy and support.
For adults seeking an ASD assessment, we can help shed some light on an individual’s difficulties, provide them with a deeper understanding of themselves and can be a step towards moving forward in life in a positive way.
