Assessments
Autism
Assessment
-
If you self-identify as being Autistic and want formal recognition of your identity, we're here to help. We call this a Collaborative Autistic Experience Identification, which differs from the traditional assessment process that leads to a clinical autism diagnosis. It reflects our progressive, neuro-affirmative commitment to respecting and celebrating your unique Autistic experience.
The identification process includes three in-depth conversation sessions with one of our psychologists who truly understand your journey, followed by a post-identification support session.
Our approach celebrates your strengths while fully recognising your support needs and understanding the complexities of everyday Autistic living. Whatever path you choose, our psychologists will offer expert guidance and support every step of the way.
-
First, you fill in an online form which your chosen psychologist will review before meeting you.
Then, you will have 3 in depth collaborative conversations with your chosen psychologist based on your communication preferences (e.g. your camera can be off, no eye contact is expected, you can communicate by typed or spoken communication)
While there can be individual variation, here is a breakdown of how sessions can typically look.
First Appointment (1-1.5 hours):
You will begin by exploring what brought you here, why you think you might be Autistic and cover areas related to communication preferences, experiences in relationships and experiences of non spoken communication. Exploration of sensory experiences might also start in this session.
Second Appointment (1-1.5 hours): This session typically covers sensory experiences, preferences around routines, your passions and interests, and any ways you might use your body to regulate.
You will also explore earlier life experiences, possible trauma and mental health history so you can consider together with your psychologist if there are other potential explanations for your experiences.
Third Appointment (1-1.5 hours): This session reviews the key themes from both previous appointments and collaboratively formally arrives at Autistic identification (or not).
Because of the open, collaborative nature of the process, clients typically enter this session with a clear sense of the outcome - there are no dramatic reveals, just confirmation and clarity.
Included with your assessment is a one-to-one support session with our trusted partners the award-winning non-profit, Thriving Autistic. They'll welcome you into a vibrant neurodivergent community with social meet-ups, advocacy support, tailored resources, and provide access to their award-winning 6-week Discover Programme.

ADHD

Follow-on
Assessments
-
Our follow-on assessments are designed for anyone who has already completed an Autistic or ADHD Experience Assessment and now wishes to explore the other area in more depth. You can decide this in your own time. Many people naturally grow curious as their understanding deepens, and choosing a psychologist who understands means you can continue with someone who already knows you and your story. There’s no need to start again or re-explain your history.
-
When you’re ready, you’ll complete a dedicated booking form for returning clients. Your psychologist will guide you through two additional online sessions, focused on exploring either your lived ADHD experience or your lived Autistic experience, depending on what you’d like to understand further. The structure mirrors your first assessment but is tailored to build on what you’ve already covered.

Important Information About ADHD Identification & Medication
At The Adult Autism & ADHD Practice, our psychologists provide ADHD identification through a collaborative assessment process. However, we cannot provide prescriptions for ADHD medication or documentation that can be used to access medication. Only psychiatrists or qualified doctors can prescribe ADHD medication.
If accessing medication is your primary goal, we recommend seeking assessment directly with a psychiatrist or doctor who specializes in ADHD and can both identify ADHD and prescribe medication if appropriate.
If you complete your assessment with us and later decide to pursue medication, the standard practice is psychiatrists will complete their own assessment, which you'll pay for separately.
We share this information upfront so you can make the best decision for your situation. If you have questions about what pathway might work best for you, please contact us at info@adultautism.ie.
