Our Abbreviated Autism Assessment is designed for individuals who are reasonably confident they are autistic and are seeking professional validation without unnecessary delays or extensive testing.

Clear Answers, Without the Wait

Do you strongly identify with being autistic but want confirmation from a qualified professional? Maybe you’ve already done your own research, completed online screeners, or relate deeply to autism communities. You might not need a full diagnostic report—just answers, affirmation, and the confidence to advocate for yourself.

The Abbreviated Autism Assessment offers a quicker, lower-cost path to clarity. It’s an ideal option if:

  • You’re seeking a diagnosis for personal understanding
  • You’re seeking professional confirmation of a suspected autism diagnosis
  • You don’t need a comprehensive report for accommodations or services


This streamlined evaluation provides a faster, lower-cost path to diagnostic clarity in a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming environment.

A Neurodiversity-Affirming Experience

The neurodiversity-affirming paradigm recognizes that conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other brain-based differences are not disorders to be fixed—but natural variations of the human mind.

Clinicians who use this approach focus on:

Neurodiversity-affirming evaluations are rooted in respect for neurodivergent identities. The goal is to help you better understand yourself in a supportive and affirming environment. Our clinicians are experienced in identifying autism in people who often go overlooked, including women, nonbinary individuals, and high maskers.

This option may be especially meaningful for clients seeking evaluations that support self-understanding, advocacy, and identity development without focusing on “normalization.”

The Abbreviated Autism Testing Process for Adults

Our abbreviated autism assessments consist of:

The entire process is conducted online, allowing you to complete the evaluation from the comfort of your home, ensuring a stress-free and familiar environment.

We encourage you to share any online self-tests (such as the RAADS-R) or personal notes about traits you identify with. The assessment itself is designed to fit your schedule, with appointments once or twice a week based on your availability.

Fast, Focused, and Supportive

Abbreviated autism evaluations are perfect for individuals who are fairly certain they’re autistic and are seeking a confirmation. These evaluations are shorter and more affordable than comprehensive assessments. They’re ideal for those who have already done research, may not require intensive support services, and want to focus on understanding their neurotype.

If you don’t need extensive testing, academic accommodations, or in-depth documentation, this streamlined evaluation may be right for you. It offers an opportunity to explore your identity, gain insight, and move forward with a clearer understanding—without the long wait or added cost of a comprehensive assessment.

FAQs for Autism Assessments

We are dedicated to providing specialized and compassionate care in psychological evaluations.

At KindestMind, we offer three levels of autism evaluations to meet the needs of individuals across the spectrum of self-awareness, complexity, and support requirements. Here's a breakdown of each option:

  • Abbreviated Assessment: This option is best for individuals who already have a strong understanding of their traits and are seeking formal confirmation without extensive testing. This streamlined evaluation provides a faster, lower-cost path to diagnostic clarity in a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming environment.
  • Standard Assessment: This option is best for individuals looking for a thorough diagnostic evaluation without full cognitive or neuropsychological testing. This balanced assessment offers meaningful insight while remaining accessible and efficient.
