What is an Adult Autism Assessment?

An Adult Autism Assessment is a structured process developed to identify whether a person meets the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder. The assessment will cover different aspects of your life, including:

• Social communication skills
• Behavioral patterns
• Sensory Sensitivities
• Executive functioning
• Emotional regulation

This assessment is thus targeted and pitched for adults, ensuring that the subtlety of an autism diagnosis at a late stage in one’s life is handled appropriately and with empathy.

Why Consider an Autism Assessment?

A diagnosis of ASD for many adults is able to bring:

• Validation: Understanding yourself better and recognizing the reasons behind certain challenges.
• Resources: Gaining eligibility for workplace accommodations, educational accommodations, and other supports.
• Improved Relationships: Better personal and professional relationships by being able to understand and articulate one’s style and needs.
• Personal Development: Empower yourself with the right tools and ways to live a life worth living.
