Assessment & Evaluation / Autism Evaluation
Young children through adults
Our neurodiversity-affirming autism evaluations look at how you communicate, connect, and experience the world, and identify your strengths as well as what’s difficult. Then your team helps you build support that fits.
Is it time?
Autism shows up in many different ways. These are some common reasons families and adults reach out.
Girls, women, and adults who have learned to mask are often missed. If you suspect you might be autistic, that’s reason enough to ask.
What we look at
We look at the whole person, not just a list of traits. That includes the strengths and interests that make you who you are.
How you share, connect, and understand others, and how others understand you.
Sensitivities or seeking around sound, light, touch, taste, and movement.
Focused interests, repetitive behaviors, and the role of predictability.
Early milestones and how things have changed over time.
Cognitive and language skills that shape the best kind of support.
ADHD, anxiety, and other things that often travel with autism.
How it works
The same clinicians stay with you from the first call through your feedback session, and into treatment if you want it.
We hear your concerns and history and gather background from parents, teachers, or others who know you well.
Structured observation, play or conversation-based activities, and standardized measures. [Confirm tools, e.g. ADOS-2]
We walk through your results in plain language and answer every question.
Treatment can begin here with providers who already know your results.
What you leave with
From root to branch
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy, social communication groups, parent and family support, and support for late-identified adults all happen here, with providers who already know your evaluation.
