Neurodiversity-Affirming Autism Assessments, with optional ADHD evaluations, for verbal adults and young adults exploring neurodivergence and masking, with a special focus on serving individuals who may have been overlooked in traditional assessments, including women (or those socialized as female), gifted/complex individuals, trans, and BIPOC clients.

Gaining an autism diagnosis as an adult can bring deep self-understanding and connect the dots in past social and therapeutic experiences. It can also open the door to meaningful support, therapy, and workplace accommodations that reflect neurodiverse needs. While a diagnosis can be a helpful tool, please confirm specific requirements if you plan to use it for accommodations.

Autism Assessment Battery includes:

1. Quantitative assessments (e.g., MIGDAS-2)

2. Clinical interview (virtual or in-person)

3. Collateral input from a close friend or family (optional)

4. One-hour follow-up to discuss findings (optional)

5. Detailed diagnostic report (optional)
