How does the adult ADHD and Autism assessment process work?
Our formalized adult neurodevelopmental assessments are comprehensive and neuro-affirming. To ensure diagnostic clarity and provide actionable insights, the structured process typically involves four stages:

Initial Clinical Intake: A consultation to explore your developmental history, current challenges, and personal goals for the assessment.

Psychometric Evaluation: The completion of evidence-based clinical questionnaires and structured diagnostic interviews.

Collateral Information: Reviewing historical documents (such as past school reports) or gathering observations from a trusted partner or family member, strictly with your explicit consent.

Feedback and Reporting: A dedicated session to discuss your clinical results, followed by a comprehensive written report that includes tailored, practical support strategies and workplace or academic recommendations.
