Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that affects how a person thinks, feels interacts with others, and experiences their environment. It is a lifelong condition that starts when a person is born and stays with them into old age. Every Autistic person is different. This is why autism is described as a ‘spectrum’.
Autism is often linked with physical, developmental or mental health conditions. These could include intellectual disability, epilepsy, gastro-intestinal issues, ADHD, dyspraxia, anxiety or depression. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours. TAS Psychology adopts a neuro-affirming approach, recognising and respecting the neurodiversity of individuals. We acknowledge that each person's neurological makeup is unique and endeavour to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all clients, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). TAS is dedicated to understanding and honouring the diverse ways in which individuals experience the world, ensuring services are tailored to meet their specific needs and preferences.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that typically begins early in life. Children and adults with ADHD can exhibit different behavioural traits. The most common trait in children is difficulty in concentration, restlessness, forgetfulness and hyperactivity. In children and adults, this may affect them in their relationships, home life, school or workplace.
While symptoms of ADHD often improve as children grow older, some individuals continue to exhibit ADHD traits into adulthood. Many adults with ADHD may have never received a diagnosis, particularly women, whose symptoms are frequently overlooked.
While not always listed as symptoms, girls and women with ADHD may experience co-occurring depression and anxiety, difficulty with anger management, challenges in maintaining friendships and have at least one area of their life in disarray, such as a messy house or bedroom.
ADHD in boys and men often presents with symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, difficulty sustaining attention and restlessness. They may engage in risk-taking behaviours and struggle with organisation and time management. Additionally, they may experience challenges in academic or work settings, as well as in their relationships with family and peers.
