Autism Testing for Portland Metro Adults

If you live in Portland and are seeking a comprehensive autism assessment, Haven Health offers expert evaluations just across the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. Finding an experienced adult autism assessor in Portland can be challenging. Waitlists at many Portland clinics stretch months or even years, and Oregon Health Plan (OHP) does not cover adult autism assessments. Our clinic provides an accessible alternative with shorter wait times and the same rigorous, neuro-affirming evaluation you would expect from a specialist practice.

Assessments are provided by Dr. Lana Ferris and Dr. Martha Keith, and our practice specializes in identifying autism in high-masking adults, women, queer people, and people seeking a late diagnosis. Telehealth appointments are available, so you don't have to cross the river for every visit. Many of our Portland-area clients arrive after years of being told they are "too functional" for autism, or after receiving misdiagnoses of anxiety, depression, or personality disorders. We understand the unique presentation of autism in people who have learned to camouflage, and our assessment process is designed to see through the mask.

Portland has a vibrant and growing Autistic community, from neurodivergent-friendly meetups in Southeast Portland to advocacy groups throughout the metro area. A formal diagnosis can connect you with this community and provide the validation, self-understanding, and legal protections that many late-identified Autistic adults find life-changing.

What Your Autism Evaluation Involves

Our assessment process is thorough, individualized, and designed to provide clarity. Here is what you can expect when you visit our clinic from Portland.

Clinical Interview

A detailed conversation about your life history, current experiences, relationships, work, and sensory experiences. You may optionally include a parent, partner, or close friend who can offer additional perspective.

Standardized Assessment

We use validated tools specifically designed for adults, including instruments that account for masking and compensatory strategies that traditional screening tools often miss.

Comprehensive Report

A detailed 15-25 page written report delivered within 2-3 weeks of your interview. This document serves as your formal diagnosis and can support workplace accommodations, FMLA applications, and ABLE account eligibility.

Feedback Session

A 60-minute meeting to walk through your results together, answer your questions, discuss what your diagnosis means for your daily life, and explore personalized support strategies.

Who We Serve in the Portland Area

We welcome clients from every corner of the Portland metro, including North Portland, Northeast Portland, Southeast Portland, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Milwaukie, and Oregon City. Our practice specializes in populations that traditional assessments often overlook.

High-Masking Professionals

Portland's creative and tech industries are filled with neurodivergent professionals who have learned to mask at work. If you have built a career while secretly struggling, our assessment can uncover what has been hidden beneath the surface.

Women and Queer People

Autism in women and queer people is frequently missed because diagnostic criteria were historically based on male presentations. We understand the unique ways autism manifests across genders and use tools designed to capture these differences. Learn about assessments for women and high-masking adults.

Adults Exploring Late Diagnosis

Whether you discovered autism through social media, a friend's diagnosis, or years of therapy that never quite addressed the root cause, we provide a respectful, thorough evaluation that honors your lived experience.
