Adult ADHD and Autism Diagnostic Assessments
Be assessed by professionals who share in the neurodivergent experience and truly understand
Discover Your True Identity with Affirming ADHD/Autism Assessments
Are you feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt and imposter syndrome, despite extensive research into your neurodivergent identity?
Have you been told you "don't seem autistic" or that you "just need to concentrate more"?
Your path to self-discovery and validation doesn't have to be fraught with uncertainty and skepticism.
Accurate Diagnosis for People who Mask.
We offer quick turnaround on ADHD and autism assessments tailored for individuals who are ready to confirm their neurodivergent identity. Our services are designed for those who want an evaluation without months of waiting.
We are committed to a neurodiversity-affirming process that respects and validates unique neurological differences rather than viewing the differences solely through a deficit-based lens.
We believe that assessments should adapt to fit your needs, not force you to fit into a specific system.
Our unique approach allows you to choose how you engage with the steps of your assessment, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience.
Whether you need a slow and guided process or prefer to tackle everything at once, we have an option for you.

Not looking for a formal assessment or diagnosis?
Formal assessment is expensive and is not an option for many people. If you would like to have a professional look over your self-report online test scores, ask some deeper questions and answer your questions, we are happy to meet with you for a one-time session ($200 for 55 minutes) and let you know if we think your scores and profile are consistent with autism.
For many people this is all they need.
For official diagnosis options, please see the package options below:
Package Options:
Essential Evaluation
$600
Perfect for those who need a straightforward confirmation, our Essential Evaluation includes comprehensive ADHD/Autism testing, “official diagnosis” and a two-page report. This abbreviated report provides a clear diagnosis and recommendations to help you move forward.
This package is best for those who just want to know.
Comprehensive Evaluation
$900
For those wanting full reports and a deeper understanding of each of the assessment tests, our Comprehensive Evaluation includes the same thorough testing as the Essential Evaluation but with a detailed, multi-page report. This in-depth document extensively covers the scores of each of the assessments, your diagnosis and symptoms.
This package is a good option for those who want to present the report to other medical professionals who might need the results of the specific testing tools.
Advanced Evaluation
$1900
Our Advanced Evaluation is ideal for those who want the most extensive assessment that includes the ADOS-2 evaluation, a gold-standard tool widely recognized by medical professionals. This package is best for those who want to present the report to other medical professionals. However, we prefer using the MIGDAS-2 instrument for its sensitivity to neurodivergent and twice-exceptional experiences as well as inclusivity across all genders, races, and ethnicities. (see more about this on our FAQ page).
This package is best for those who who want to present the report to other medical professionals outside of the neurodivergent-affirming network.
Note: these evaluations are not covered by insurance
Does this sound like you?
“I get overwhelmed when I am given too many tasks at once”
“I need things to be given to me one at a time”
“I get discouraged when I see a list of things to do.”
“I need to know what the big picture is but then I need to have things broken down into bite size chunks”
“I want the whole list of things to do but then I need to be reminded of each step to take”
“I see the whole list of things to do, I do a few of them and then forget about the rest.”
“I need everything all at once because I’m going to hyper-focus and get it done right now”
“I need to know all of the tasks so that I can decide which order to them in”
“Don’t tell me what to do, I’ll figure it out on my own!”
Consider the Step-by-Step Plan:
You will receive a link to a task, when it’s complete, you will get the link to the next task.
You complete them at your own pace.
This is perfect for people who get overwhelmed when they are given a list of things to do.
Consider the Step-by-Step with Overview Plan:
You will receive a document with a list of the tasks and links to complete each one. You can work off of that document or wait for the tasks to be sent to you individually. You complete them at your own pace.
This is perfect for people who need to know everything involved and also want reminders about each step.
Consider the All-at-Once Plan:
You will receive a document with a list of the tasks and links to complete each one. You can work off of that document and complete them all in one day if you want or take your time.
This is perfect for people who hyper-focus and people who don’t like being told when to do things.
