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.

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.
