Adult Autism Assessment

Assessment & Diagnosis

Assessment & Diagnosis in Ireland Celebrating Neurodiversity and Supporting Individual Experiences

People with autism often possess remarkable strengths that enrich our collective human experience. Many demonstrate exceptional abilities in pattern recognition, maintain extraordinary focus on areas of interest, and exhibit outstanding memory capabilities. These cognitive strengths, combined with unique problem-solving approaches and precise attention to detail, enable people with autism to make valuable contributions across numerous fields, from science and technology to arts and academia.

Whilst navigating daily life, some people with autism may experience challenges with certain social interactions or sensory experiences that weren’t designed with neurodiversity in mind. These challenges often stem from societal structures rather than autism itself, highlighting the importance of creating more inclusive environments. Understanding and adapting environments to accommodate different sensory and communication preferences can help ensure people with autism have equal opportunities to thrive and share their unique perspectives and talents.

Neuromed Clinic provides specialised online autism assessments for adults aged 18 and above. Our evaluations are conducted by Dr. Tara Logan Buckley, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in adult autism assessment. Dr Tara understands that seeking an autism diagnosis as an adult requires sensitivity, expertise, and a thorough understanding of how autism presents across different life stages.
Dr. Tara examines key domains of functioning, including cognitive processing patterns, social interaction styles, and sensory responses. She assess executive functioning and daily living skills while exploring special interests and strengths. The evaluation also covers emotional regulation, work and relationship experiences, and personal coping strategies to build a complete understanding of each individual.

Our comprehensive online autism assessment begins with detailed questionnaires and assessment forms that you complete at your own pace from home. This information gathering helps Dr Tara understand your developmental history, current functioning, and any co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Once you have completed these initial assessments, you will meet online with Dr Tara for a thorough consultation that examines your experiences and identifies both your personal strengths and areas where you may face challenges.

Dr Tara discusses your assessment results in detail and confirms any diagnostic findings. Together, you will explore personalised support strategies and treatment options tailored to your needs. She provides guidance on educational and workplace accommodations, connects you with relevant resources and services, and helps create a practical plan for moving forward. This collaborative approach ensures you have clear direction and support for your next steps.

Following your assessment, you will receive a comprehensive diagnostic report that includes detailed recommendations for your ongoing support and development. This documentation is designed to be shared with relevant institutions and services as needed, including educational facilities, employers, healthcare providers, and disability support services. The report can be used to help secure necessary accommodations in educational or workplace settings and access appropriate support services, ensuring you have the formal documentation needed to advocate for your needs effectively.
