Seeking answers is a strength. A thoughtful, affirming evaluation can help you understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Adult Autism and ADHD Evaluations

Feedback & Report
You receive clear feedback, a written report, and practical recommendations.
Why Adult Autism and ADHD Testing Matters
Autism often looks different in adults than it does in children. Many autistic adults have learned to mask or compensate for social and sensory differences over the years.
Some were never diagnosed as children because autism was less well understood, their traits were subtle, or their differences were attributed to something else.
An evaluation can provide language for long-standing experiences and a clearer understanding of how your brain works.
What the Evaluation May Explore
Every assessment is individualized and may include:
- A detailed clinical and developmental interview
- Communication and relationship patterns
- Sensory sensitivities and routines
- Attention and executive functioning
- Adaptive functioning and daily living skills
- Anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, or other concerns
- Standardized rating scales and assessment measures
Who May Benefit from an Assessment?
Adult autism and ADHD testing may be helpful if you:
- Have wondered whether you may be autistic or have ADHD
- Have spent years masking or trying to meet social expectations
- Feel previous diagnoses did not fully explain your experience
- Struggle with sensory sensitivities or chronic exhaustion
- Want to understand your strengths as well as your challenges
- Need recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or planning
What You Can Expect
My goal is not to reduce you to a label. It is to help you better understand yourself, your experiences, your strengths, and the ways your brain works.
I offer a thoughtful, respectful, and collaborative process that honors your lived experience. Findings are explained in understandable language and connected to practical next steps.
Whether the evaluation supports autism, ADHD, another condition, multiple diagnoses, or no diagnosis, you will leave with a clearer clinical formulation.
