Preparing for an Autism Assessment:Ā 7 Things to Know Before Seeking DiagnosisĀ
The Hidden Impact of Autism in Adults
At Hazelton Clinic, we often see individuals who have spent years unsure how to manage the challenges of undiagnosed autism. For many adults, a formal diagnosis brings clarity, self-understanding, and relief.
Without a diagnosis, adults may struggle in several ways:
- Difficulty making friends or understanding social cues, leading to isolation and frustration.
- Sensory sensitivities, like loud noises or changes in routine, can cause overwhelm or withdrawal.
- Trouble expressing needs or understanding others, resulting in emotional exhaustion.
- A strong need for routine or fixation on specific interests, creating anxiety when things donāt go as expected.
- Feeling ādifferentā or misunderstood, leading to low confidence and emotional distress.
In many cases, undiagnosed autism is mistaken for anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions, leading to treatments that donāt address the root cause. This can leave individuals feeling frustrated, misunderstood, and unsupported, even after years of seeking help.
An autism assessment can provide clarity, answers, and a clear pathway to the right supports and strategies for everyday life.
TheĀ Cork Autism Assessment Program
We understand how important it is to get clear, professional answers, and our process makes it simple and supportive from start to finish.
Step 1 - Initial Intake Session
We begin with an in-depth discussion about your background, family history, current experiences, and any concerns you may have. For adults, this includes exploring your developmental history, relationships, and work or study experiences to help us build a complete picture.
Step 2 - In-Depth Assessment
Step 3 - Feedback and Next Steps
After the assessment, weāll meet with you to review the results and provide a full written report. This report outlines your diagnosis and identifies areas where you may benefit from support. It can be used for workplace adjustments, university support, or funding applications. Weāll also discuss practical recommendations, such as therapy options, community support, or further steps to help you thrive.
Our mission is to ensure you feel understood, respected, and supported at every stage.
