Adult Autism and AuDHD Assessment in Melbourne
Assessment can help clarify whether autism, ADHD, or an AuDHD profile may explain long-standing patterns in sensory experience, social communication, attention, masking, burnout, and support needs.
Breathe-n-Smile Psychology offers adult autism and combined AuDHD assessment in Essendon North, Footscray, and via telehealth across Victoria. Sessions may be available in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin.
Why Adults Seek Autism or AuDHD Assessment
Many adults explore assessment after years of feeling different, overextended, misunderstood, or exhausted from masking.
Autism assessment may explore:
- sensory experiences and overwhelm
- social communication and relationship patterns
- masking, shutdowns, burnout, or recovery needs
- routines, predictability, flexibility, and transitions
- strengths, interests, identity, and support needs
AuDHD assessment may explore:
- autistic and ADHD traits together
- attention, time, memory, and executive functioning
- how novelty-seeking and routine needs interact
- emotional regulation, sensory load, and fatigue
- which supports may be most useful day to day
