Adult/Adolescent Neurodiverse Assessment Information
Michelle provides comprehensive adult and adolescent (16+) autism/ADHD assessments using evidence-based approaches within a neuro-affirming practice. Our process is adapted to respect your specific communication and sensory preferences. Clients receive a clear explanation of all test results and a useful, easy-to-understand written report. This report includes practical recommendations to assist you in the workplace, academic setting, or at home.
We prioritize client comfort. If you have sensory sensitivities, please inform us so we can adjust the lighting, seating, sound levels, and appointment structure accordingly. Breaks are easily accommodated, and we will make every effort to ensure the assessment environment is safe and manageable for you.
Those seeking clarity regarding a diagnosis often report experiencing one or more of the following:
-
Feeling emotionally exhausted from consistently "masking" or camouflaging social/relationship difficulties.
-
A strong preference for predictable routines and significant difficulty transitioning between different activities or tasks.
-
Heightened sensory sensitivities to environmental factors such as sound, lighting, specific textures, flavours, or crowded spaces.
-
The ability to excel in specific areas of interest but struggling to shift focus or multitask on subjects of less appeal.
-
Persistent, long-term struggles with mood regulation or anxiety.
-
A history of chronic difficulties throughout their education and career, leading them to seek a formal diagnosis later in life.
