Many adults begin to question whether lifelong patterns—difficulty focusing, social exhaustion, sensory sensitivities, chronic burnout, or feeling different from others—might be connected to autism, ADHD, or both.
If you are searching for adult autism testing, ADHD testing for adults, or an AuDHD evaluation, a comprehensive psychological assessment can provide clarity.
I offer neurodiversity-affirming adult evaluations for autism and ADHD designed to help you better understand how your brain works and how to move forward with greater self-knowledge and support.
These evaluations are available for adults age 18 and older seeking an adult autism diagnosis, adult ADHD diagnosis, or combined autism + ADHD (AuDHD) evaluation.
