At AutismCare, we understand how important it is for families to access timely, respectful support.

We aim to complete the initial pre-assessment consultation within one week of your first contact. From there, our full three-step process—comprising consultation, assessment, and feedback—is typically completed within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on individual needs and availability.

We are committed to offering timely access without compromising depth, care, or connection. Our process is guided by your child’s pace and comfort, and we take the time needed to understand each individual’s unique profile in a thoughtful and affirming way.

At AutismCare, we’ve designed our service to remove unnecessary delays while maintaining a comprehensive, respectful, and identity-affirming process. Families and individuals are often faced with long waiting lists and complex referral pathways within traditional systems—barriers that can prolong stress and delay access to meaningful support.

Our model offers direct access to experienced psychologists and a carefully structured, three-step assessment process. We aim to conduct the initial pre-assessment consultation within one week of first contact. From there, the full process—including consultation, assessment sessions, and feedback—is typically completed within 4 to 6 weeks of the initial consultation, depending on individual needs and scheduling.

This approach allows us to provide timely, high-quality assessments while still ensuring the depth, care, and collaboration that are central to our neuroaffirmative ethos. We work closely with each individual and family to ensure the process is not rushed, but responsive to the person’s pace and comfort.

At AutismCare, our online assessments are carried out in line with current best practice guidelines. This format offers increased accessibility and flexibility, particularly for individuals who may experience barriers to in-person appointments or prefer to engage from the comfort of their own environment.

Whether the assessment is conducted online or in person, the outcome is equally valid and can be used to access services through the HSE, Department of Education, and other public or private support systems.

We ensure that the online experience remains thorough, respectful, and neuroaffirmative, and is adapted to meet each individual’s communication and access needs.

No referral is required to begin the process at AutismCare.

We begin with a pre-assessment consultation, where you’ll meet directly with one of our qualified psychologists. This session provides an opportunity to explore your concerns, ask questions, and discuss your or your child’s experiences in a supportive, neuroaffirmative space.

Following this consultation, the psychologist will offer a formal recommendation on whether proceeding to a full Autism assessment is appropriate at this time. This approach ensures that every step of the process is individualised, collaborative, and grounded in respect for neurodivergent identities.

You can contact us directly to begin—we’re here to support you from the very first step.

At AutismCare, we offer a comprehensive, neuroaffirmative assessment process that includes consultation, assessment sessions, and a detailed feedback report with personalised recommendations.
