Adult Autism Assessments

Currently available for those in Illinois & Ohio.

Getting assessed for autism can be tricky at times - it requires the assessor really knows the ins & outs of autism - which can look different from person to person. Not all professionals learned about autism in grad school, believe it or not, or have old information based on stereotypes & misinformation.

I have studied autism & immersed myself in the community as well as provided services to autistics with OCD for over 15 years now, and in fact was identified as autistic myself in 2022! These studies will never end as there is also more to learn & new discoveries being made.

You can trust me to help identify if you may also be autistic as I take my responsibility as an autism assessor very seriously. I’d be happy to help you on your journey!

Exploration & Identification Process

A 3-Step Approach

  1. Pre-Exploration

  2. Collaborative Exploration

  3. Clarifications & Identification

STEP 1: Pre-Exploration

To start, you will complete a self-report questionnaire to aid in the assessment process. I use the SRS-2 (Social Responsiveness Scale) & the SPM-2 (Sensory Processing Measure).

STEP 2: Collaborative Exploration

Next, we will meet so I can learn more about you & your history & what is going on currently in your life. I will use the guided-exploration tool known as the MIDGAS-2 to gather information, but this will be very relaxed & conversational. It’s preferred that this be a 90 minute session. We may or may not need a follow-up session given how far we get in the 1st exploration.

STEP 3: Clarifications & Identification

Lastly, after a few weeks, we will re-connect so I may clarify information & then share the results of the assessment. I will provide a letter of confirmation & a short report covering the entire process.

Costs & Location

It’s extremely important to me that this be an accessible service most could afford, as assessments can cost several thousand dollars at some places.

Going through the Autism Exploration & Identification with me will cost $750, which can be paid in installments if that makes it easier for you.
