About us
The Neurodiversity Practice (Ireland) is an online adult assessment service offering neuroaffirmative Autism assessments for adults in Ireland. Our approach combines clinical expertise with a thoughtful, person-centred style that recognises both the strengths and challenges of neurodivergent individuals.
The practice was founded by Teri Goldstone. Teri completes all Autism Consultations and Assessments herself. She is a registered and accredited Chartered Psychologist with The Psychological Society of Ireland (C. Psychol. PsSI) and has over 10 years experience working as a Clinical Psychologist with Autistic adult and adolescent populations.
Our ethos
We are grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming understanding of Autism. That means we recognise Autism as part of natural human variation, while also taking seriously the real challenges that can arise when a person’s needs are not recognised or supported.
We do not rely on narrow stereotypes or outdated assumptions about what Autism ‘should’ look like. We understand that Autistic adults can present in many different ways, particularly when there has been significant masking, compensation, trauma, or long-standing mental health difficulties.
Our Approach
Respectful
We know many adults come to assessment after years of confusion, self-doubt, or invalidating experiences. We aim to offer a process that feels containing, clear, and humane.
Collaborative
Your lived experience is central. Assessment is not something done to you; it is a process of understanding with you.
Clinically rigorous
Our assessments are careful, evidence-informed, and grounded in professional standards.
Practical
The outcome should leave you with something useful: not just a label or no label, but a clearer understanding of your profile and what may help going forward.
