About

Professor Michael Fitzgerald is a highly esteemed figure in the field of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He is recognised for his extensive clinical experience, having diagnosed over 2600 individuals with Autism and Asperger's syndrome. His contributions extend beyond clinical practice, as he has played a crucial role in shaping national policies related to autism, serving on government task forces in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Professor Fitzgerald's dedication to advancing the understanding and treatment of autism is evident in his prolific research career. He has contributed to numerous national and international journals, sharing his expertise and insights with the global medical community. Furthermore, his authorship extends to 25 books, encompassing writing, co-writing, editing, and co-editing, solidifying his position as a leading voice in the field.
His commitment to education and mentorship is noteworthy. As the first Professor of Child Psychiatry in Ireland, appointed in 1996, he has undoubtedly shaped the next generation of practitioners. His influence transcends geographical boundaries, as he holds the esteemed title of Henry Marsh Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
