Neurodivergent Screening & Assessment

Encourage mentorship and peer support to enhance your colleagues’ contributions and growth. By scheduling regular check-ins and encouraging feedback, you can improve the support you provide on a continual basis. If you think you need support fill out our form and complete the neurodiversity questionnaire. The day also featured focus groups and stalls promoting services for those who identify as neurodivergent. Full Council passed a motion in September 2023 to work towards becoming a more neurodivergent-friendly city and yesterday's event was the start of that journey.
Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or looking to support your colleagues, make it a priority to find out about Access to Work – a government programme which supports disabled people to take up or remain in work. They may potentially have financial resources to help remove barriers at your workplace. Their diverse perspectives and exceptional abilities, such as attention to  detail, creative problem-solving, and extraordinary memory, are a significant asset. By recognising and appreciating these strengths, we can inspire them to reach their full potential and contribute even more to our collective success. A high percentage of employees choose not to tell their employer about a neurodivergent diagnosis. This could be because they’re not aware they can access accommodations to get them to a more equitable level with their peers, they may have had a previous poor experience, or they may be afraid it will harm their career prospects.

We are committed to dispelling the misconceptions that support is unavailable, too expensive, or out of reach. Through our comprehensive training programs, diagnostic assessment partners, 1-1 coaching/mentoring, and expert guidance, we empower children, parents, educators, and organisations to create inclusive environments that embrace neurodiversity. In the UK, a wide variety of resources for neurodiversity are available, including grants and benefits that can fund support for individuals who are neurodivergent, disabled, or have a mental health condition. Many people are unaware of the neurodiversity grants and other funding options they could be eligible for, even without a formal diagnosis. Autism assessments can be a great starting point for those seeking a better understanding of their neurodiversity. For adults aged 16 and over, this can offer a compassionate, insightful, yet reliable pathway to self-awareness.

However, for some people the variation between those strengths and challenges is more pronounced and a neurodiversity condition may be present. The PSW service supports doctors in training to recognise if they may have any neurodiversity condition which may be impacting on areas of their training and provides coping strategies to overcome these and give them the best Neurodiversity Assessment chance to succeed. All health and social care staff have access to Autism Wales’ interesting and practical training, giving the knowledge people need to effectively provide support to autistic people. Professionals note a rising demand for neurodivergence services, driven by heightened awareness, especially through social media. A notable study indicated a significant surge in autism diagnoses, correlating with increased awareness prompting more diagnostic assessments. The findings from the research highlight significant challenges and areas for improvement in the current diagnostic assessment and support processes for neurodivergent individuals.
As autism can present in a similar way to other conditions, our trained clinicians will be able to distinguish between those and autism itself, thus better able to ensure the outcome of an accurate diagnosis. The assessment process consists of online questionnaires and meetings via video-link. If a neurodivergent employee considers their condition a disability, it is protected under the Equality Act 2010. Employers must ensure they are not disadvantaged and provide reasonable adjustments.

The resources within this section were developed in partnership with neurodivergent people, parents/ carers, and professionals. The resources are aimed at increasing the knowledge, skills, and understanding of neurodivergence for young people and adult health and social care professionals. At AP Cymru, we are proud that our charity provides a direct support service to neurodivergent children, young people, and their families before, during and after diagnosis. We offer a range of services, such as parent support and wellbeing check ins, family activities and parent/carer wellbeing sessions, and neurodiversity training.
A professional assessment can provide clarity, support, and open up access to workplace adjustments or additional support if needed. Our focus is on creating a needs-led approach that provides early help and support, while working to reduce waiting times. This investment demonstrates our commitment to developing sustainable, integrated services that better serve neurodivergent people across Wales.

Cygnet is a programme for parents and carers of children and young people aged 5 to 18 who have been diagnosed with an autistic spectrum condition (ASC). I hope this new listening line will help to deliver meaningful improvements to the lives of neurodivergent people and their families, and become a valued source of support.

Thank you for picking me up when I hit rock bottom, thank you for the support, guidance and love you have shown us.

Our sessions raise understanding of different neurotypes and offer practical strategies to create inclusive, supportive environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive. There is a significantly higher proportion of people with autism who suffer with their mental wellbeing compared to the general/ neurotypical population. Although Autism itself does not cause mental health problems, living in a  world that is not user friendly towards you can result in a tough and draining life with the need for support. Once a person is diagnosed with autism, support and better understanding can be given to guide them to engage better with others, should they choose to do so. The full assessment explores a range of academic skills and cognitive processing abilities.
