Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism affects how people perceive and interact with the world. With the right support, autistic people lead fulfilling, meaningful lives.

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in social communication, sensory processing and patterns of behaviour. The spectrum is broad: no two autistic people are alike. Many autistic adults are diagnosed only in later life.

Do you recognise this?

✓Difficulty reading social cues
✓Preference for routines and predictability
✓Intense focus on specific interests
✓Sensory sensitivities (sound, light, touch)
✓Taking language very literally
✓Social fatigue after interactions
✓Difficulty with unexpected change

Frequently asked questions

Can autism be cured?

Autism is a neurological difference, not an illness. Therapy focuses on building on strengths and reducing distress, not 'curing' autism.

What if I was only diagnosed as an adult?

Late diagnosis is common, especially in women. A post-diagnostic session helps understand how autism has shaped your life and what support can help.
