ADHD and AUTISM Evaluations

Comprehensive ADHD & Autism Evaluations for Adults Seeking Clarity — Not Guesswork:

For adults who have been overlooked, misdiagnosed, high-masking, or quietly struggling — this is a space for accurate, thoughtful, identity-informed evaluation.

Who This Is For

You might be here if:

• You’ve wondered for years, “Is this ADHD? Autism? Both?”

• You’ve been told “you’re just anxious,” “just overwhelmed,” or “just need to try harder”

• You function well on the outside — but it costs you everything internally

• You’re high-achieving, burnt out, and tired of not having language for your experience

• You suspect you’ve been masking for most of your life

• You want clarity that actually makes sense — not a rushed diagnosis

What This Is (and What It Isn’t)

This is a comprehensive clinical diagnostic evaluation.

It includes:

• In-depth clinical interviews

• Developmental and psychosocial history

• Standardized assessment tools

• Differential diagnosis (ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, etc.)

• A written report with clinical impressions and recommendations

• A feedback session to walk through your results

This is not a neuropsychological evaluation.

• No IQ or cognitive battery testing

• No extensive academic or processing speed testing

However, this evaluation is appropriate for:

• Diagnostic clarity

• Treatment planning

• Many workplace or academic accommodations

My Approach

I do not do checklist diagnoses.

My work is:

• Trauma-informed

• Culturally responsive

• Identity-aware

• Clinically rigorous

I pay attention to:

• masking and compensation patterns

• how race, gender, and culture impact diagnosis

• the overlap between ADHD, autism, and trauma

Because many adults are not “missed” by accident —
they are missed by systems that were not built to see them.
