Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) otherwise known as autism, affects 1.1% of the
population in Northern Ireland. ASC is a developmental condition and will be
present throughout a person’s lifespan. Many individuals are now receiving a
diagnosis in adulthood due to improved awareness of the condition and improved
access to assessment services.
This session will consider specifically, the adult experience of ASC; dispel the
negative stereotypes of ASC; and highlight the value that individuals with the
condition can bring to the world. A professional practitioner will explain the clinical
features of ASC, which include difficulties with social communication, repetitive
behaviours and restricted interests. A peer educator who received an adult
diagnosis will reflect on what life has been like having the condition without knowing.
The experience of the assessment process and post-diagnostic journey will be
discussed. Supports available to adults with ASC (within the Belfast Trust area) and
their families and carers will be identified. (Duration of course: 2 hrs)
