We are now accepting expressions of interest for our September 2025 - March 2026 Discovery Programme cohorts!

Have you recently discovered that you’re Autistic? Would you like to learn more about your neurotype and discuss what it means for you in a supportive group with other newly identified Autistic adults?

We recognise that there are often barriers to getting an assessment, so whether you are self-identifying or have been formally identified Autistic, you are welcome to join us.

Our 6-week online programme aims to offer support, resources and community building for Autistic people and help you in answering the myriad of questions being late-identified can bring.

Funding in Ireland
We have funding for Irish citizens, so people living in Ireland can attend the Discovery Program free of charge.

International Participants
We support people from 19 countries, and we are looking for help to access funding in other countries. Any support or ideas are very welcome.

Full Cost
The full cost of the program is €985. This includes:
• The full 6 week live programme and all resources
• A separate one to one support session with an Autistic practitioner
• Advocacy and participation support
• Monthly social meetups for 6 months

Sliding Scale Options
For international participants, we offer several contribution levels. People can choose the option that fits their situation:
• Full contribution: €985
• 75 percent contribution: €738.75
• 50 percent contribution: €492.50
• 25 percent contribution: €246.25

Payment Plans
We can also offer a payment plan at 0 percent interest to make things easier.

Lower Income Countries
We know that in some countries even the 25 percent contribution may be too high. We keep a small number of places for people from lower income countries and can offer matched rates where possible.

How does it work?

Meeting once a week for 6 weeks, we’ll co-curate the plan, looking at different themes each time with plenty of space for discussion. Whether you are formally- or self-identified, you are very welcome!

During the first session, participants have the opportunity to hear from each other about their journey identifying as Autistic. There’s then the chance to vote for which subjects feel most relevant to cover in future sessions. We continually update our course to enhance learning and discussion on topics such as masking, sensory experiences, emotional regulation, self-advocacy and beyond.

Short videos (up to 15 minutes) will be provided ahead of each session so that you can start to engage with the topic and have some time to process ahead of a live discussion. There’ll be plenty of space to ask questions and share experiences.

Participation is entirely optional and self-directed - you can choose to engage verbally or through chat or simply observe if you prefer. We also provide supplementary materials for further reading on each subject.

Join us for this enriching and informative experience, where you can meet others and delve into concerns that are important to you.
