The Forum is an independent professional body which evolved from the Northern Ireland Diagnostic Special Interest Group (ASD) which developed out of a peer support and training (specialist diagnostic) project with Autism NI (PAPA) training (1997-2007).

In 2006, the Special Interest Group was asked by Western Health Board to prepare a statement regarding their position on “Private Practice within ASD Diagnosis”.
The Forum meets twice a year and membership is open to professionals meeting on agreed criteria.
Further information and contact details can be obtained through Autism NI (PAPA).
