If you suspect you may be autistic, or have been wondering for years but never had the opportunity to pursue a diagnosis, this evaluation offers a thoughtful, thorough look into your neurodivergent traits.
Our Standard Autism Assessment is especially helpful for:
This option is ideal for those who want a detailed clinical perspective on their experiences, whether to better understand themselves, inform therapy, or explore possible accommodations.
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.”
Our standard autism assessments consist of:
All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth, allowing you to participate from home in a comfortable, low-stress 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.
Our Standard Autism Evaluation provides a balance of depth and efficiency—enough information to support therapy, school or workplace accommodations, or personal clarity, without the intensity or timeline of a full neuropsychological battery.
Our clinicians are affirming, inclusive, and experienced in working with adults who may have been overlooked in earlier life, especially high maskers and those from marginalized communities.
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:
Not sure which is right for you? Our team can help guide you during the intake process.
Yes! All of our autism assessments are available through telehealth. You can complete the entire process from the comfort of your home, including interviews, questionnaires, and any additional tasks required for the assessment. We also encourage you to have any sensory items or comforts you need during the process, ensuring a relaxed and familiar environment.
An official autism diagnosis may help you qualify for government disability accommodations, depending on local regulations. These supports could include educational accommodations, workplace adjustments, and even financial assistance. It’s essential to check your local policies to understand what benefits you might be eligible for based on your diagnosis.
If your assessment doesn’t result in an autism diagnosis, we’ll explore other possibilities that may be contributing to your experiences. We may recommend further testing or provide referrals to therapy or other services that can help address your concerns. Our goal is to help you gain clarity, whether or not the results show autism.
We encourage you to bring any notes, results from online self-assessments (like the RAADS-R), or personal insights you’ve gathered about traits you identify with. Additionally, input from family members or friends may be helpful, especially if they’ve observed behaviors you’d like to discuss.
Yes! We offer autism assessments for both adolescents and adults. Many adults seek assessments later in life to better understand their experiences and needs. Whether you’ve suspected autism for a long time or you’re just beginning to explore this possibility, our evaluation is tailored to help you gain the insights and support you need.
The cost of our autism assessment services varies depending on the depth of the evaluation. We offer flexible payment options, including payment plans through Care Credit, and we have reduced rates available for individuals facing financial hardships. Please contact our team to discuss the specific costs and payment options.
