Ms Davida Hartman:

In terms of cost, that can vary massively. The Adult Autism Practice is a private organisation. Our costs are not low. It is €850 for the full assessment with the official diagnosis, which people need to access services. This is the issue. We also support self-identification, and a lot of people in the autistic community would self-identify. We support those people with an initial consultation. However, the official diagnosis, which is often needed to access services and workplace accommodations, costs €850 with us. That is very low compared to other services. It would typically cost up to €2,000 or €2,500, and even more. There is literally no other pathway to access that in Ireland. If people are already within mental health services they might sometimes be lucky enough, if I can put it like that, to meet a professional who will support them with an assessment. More often than not they will be told that autism assessments are not offered as part of those services. Even if somebody says he or she thinks he or she is autistic and gives the reasons, he or she will be told that assessment is not done. Such people will be referred out of public services, and into private services.

We are talking about people who would be very well-known, who might have been seeing a therapist, psychiatrist, or psychologist for many months, but were told they had to go private for the assessment, which is completely unnecessary. I apologise, what was the Deputy's other question?
