Autism Assessment for Adults
If you have spent years analyzing yourself, masking your responses, or feeling out of sync with how other people move through the world, there is a reason!
I provide neuroaffirming Autism and ADHD assessment services for adults who want clear, accurate answers without being dismissed, pathologized, or forced into outdated diagnostic models.
This is an online Autism assessment process designed for people who think deeply, notice patterns, and want a real understanding of how their brain works.
Why Work With Me
-
Lived experience matters
I am Autistic. This means there is less translation required, fewer language barriers, and more shared understanding. You do not have to mask or reshape your experience to be taken seriously. -
No long waitlist
You can access an Autism assessment without waiting years. If you are ready for clarity, the process is available to you now. -
Assessment in a sensory and socially friendly environment
You do not need to mask and I will never ask you to. In fact, I highly encourage you not to whenever possible! Bring your stims, move around, type when needed, eye contact at whatever level is comfortable, etc.
-
Streamlined, focused process
My Autism assessment is intentional and efficient. My intention is to respect your time and energy while still being thorough. -
Centered on internal experience
I prioritize your sensory world, thought patterns, and lived experience over external observation alone. You are not reduced to how you appear from the outside. -
Not based in pathologizing models
I do not rely on outdated, deficit-based diagnostic frameworks. Your neurotype is not a thing to be "fixed". It is a foundation of you to be understood, not judged. -
More accurate, more useful results
This approach leads to a clearer, more respectful understanding of how your brain works and what you actually need.

What about confidentiality?
Your Autism assessment process is conducted using fully confidential, HIPAA-compliant systems, so your information is protected at every step. Because I use a tiered private pay model, you also have more control over your data. That means you decide what is formally documented and who has access to that information, rather than having your diagnosis automatically shared with insurance companies or large systems. This allows for a more intentional, contained process where your privacy and autonomy are prioritized.
How does this help me?
A thorough Autism assessment can change how you understand your entire life.
Through this process, you can:
-
Understand your patterns without self-blame
-
Identify sensory and cognitive needs
-
Reduce masking and Autistic burnout
-
Build a life that works with your brain instead of against it
-
Have accurate language to describe your experience
A good Autism assessment is not about labeling you. It is about correctly identifying your neurotype so you can make informed decisions.
Is there anyone this assessment is not designed for?
-
People under 18
-
Those seeking state disability benefits as a primary goal.
Although it is not required for diagnosis, some state and federal systems require evaluations from doctoral-level psychologists. -
Students whose school requires a doctoral-level report.
This is uncommon, but some institutions have specific documentation requirements. -
People needing IQ or specific learning disability testing.
These assessments often require physical tasks and do not translate well to a telehealth format.
In these cases, I recommend pursuing a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation with a licensed psychologist to ensure you get what you need.
