What to Expect During Your Autism Evaluation
Your assessment journey at our Vancouver, WA clinic involves multiple appointments designed to give you a complete and accurate picture of your neurotype.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough conversation about your history, experiences, and concerns. This helps us understand your unique presentation and tailor the assessment to your needs.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We use validated assessment tools designed specifically for identifying autism in adults, including those who have learned to mask their Autistic traits over decades.
Written Report
You receive a comprehensive written report documenting findings within 2-3 weeks of your interview session. This 15-25 page report can be used for workplace or educational accommodations.
Feedback Session
We meet for a 60-minute session to discuss your results in depth, answer all your questions, and provide personalized recommendations for support and next steps.
Who We Assess in Vancouver, WA
Our practice focuses on populations that are often overlooked or misdiagnosed by traditional autism assessments. If you recognize yourself in any of the descriptions below, our evaluation may provide the clarity you have been seeking.
High-Masking Adults
If you have learned to hide your struggles and "pass" as neurotypical in social and professional settings, we see you. Our assessments are designed to identify autism even when you have become an expert at camouflaging your traits.
Women and Queer People
Traditional autism criteria were based on male presentations. We understand how autism manifests differently in women and queer people, and we use tools that account for these differences rather than dismissing your experiences. Learn about assessments for women and high-masking adults.
Late-Identified Adults
It is never too late to understand yourself. Many of our Vancouver-area clients are adults who have spent decades wondering why they feel different. A formal diagnosis provides validation, self-understanding, and access to support.
Late Diagnosis Autism Assessments for Adults
Many of the adults we assess have spent decades feeling different without knowing why. Autism was rarely recognized in girls, in queer kids, or in children who did well in school, so it is common to reach your 30s, 40s, or 50s before the pieces come together. Burnout, a child's diagnosis, or a moment of recognition online is often what finally prompts the question.
A late diagnosis can reframe a lifetime of experiences. Things you blamed yourself for start to make sense, and a formal report gives you documentation for workplace or educational accommodations, eligibility for intermittent FMLA leave and an ABLE account, and better-targeted care for co-occurring anxiety, depression, or burnout.
