Adult Autism (ASD) Evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the adult autism diagnostic process involve?

Our autism evaluation for adults includes a Life History Questionnaire, an ASD-specific trait checklist, and three 90-minute clinical interviews. When relevant, we may also speak with a partner or close support person. The process explores developmental, emotional, and behavioral patterns.

2. Who should consider an autism assessment?

This service is ideal for adults who may be autistic but undiagnosed, individuals seeking to better understand their neurodivergent identity, and those interested in accessing accommodations or therapy tailored to their needs.

3. What areas does the evaluation assess?

We assess a wide range of areas including social communication, sensory sensitivities, executive function, emotional health, cognitive abilities, and more.

4. What’s the goal of the evaluation?

The goal is not just to diagnose, but to provide clarity, self-awareness, and access to practical support. We use a neurodiversity-affirming approach that validates your lived experience.

5. Will I receive a diagnostic report?

Yes. You’ll receive a formal diagnosis verification letter with a summary of findings, recommendations, and documentation that can be used for requesting accommodations or further care.
