ADULT DIAGNOSED AUTISM PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Autism often goes undiagnosed in adulthood—especially in individuals who have learned to mask, adapt, or “cope well enough” for years. Our psychological evaluations for adult autism are designed to bring clarity, insight, and understanding to your lived experience.
This comprehensive evaluation is conducted by a licensed psychologist and includes:
-
An in-depth clinical interview focused on developmental history, sensory profile, social patterns, and identity
-
Standardized diagnostic tools and self-report measures
-
Screening for co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or trauma
-
A thorough written report with diagnostic impressions and tailored recommendations
Many adults come to us seeking answers to lifelong questions: Why do I feel different? Why is socializing so exhausting? Why have I always needed extra recovery time?
An adult autism evaluation can offer language for your experience, affirm your neurodivergent identity, and open the door to self-compassion, accommodations, and community. -

OTHER COOCCURING DIAGNOSIS DURING NEURODIVERGENT PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Seeking a diagnosis for ADHD or Autism in adulthood is often more than a clinical process—it can be an emotional one. Many adults come to evaluation after years of internal confusion, burnout, misdiagnosis, or feeling “othered.” As part of our assessment process, we also explore the broader mental health landscape that may be impacting your life.
Our psychologist and team will provide:
-
A compassionate space to process the emotional impact of exploring a diagnosis
-
Screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic stress
-
A trauma-informed approach that honors lived experience, masking, and identity development
-
Supportive referrals for therapy, psychiatry, and community resources
Mental health concerns don’t disqualify or complicate a diagnosis—they are often part of the story. We aim to help you connect the dots, make sense of your experience, and walk away with insight, tools, and a path forward.

-
DIAGNOSTIC CLARITY SESSION (1-HOUR INTERVIEW)
