Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person perceives the world and interacts with others. It involves differences in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
While diagnostic criteria historically focused on childhood presentation, autism is now understood as a lifelong condition. In adulthood it can show up as differences in reading social cues, sensory sensitivities, a strong reliance on routine, and challenges with executive functioning such as planning and adapting to change
The Adult Autism Add-On is an autism-focused evaluation that can be added to an existing service, rather than a standalone assessment. It can be included with:
ADHD Assessment
Post-Secondary ADHD Assessment
MIC-ADHD Assessment
Psychoeducational Assessment
Our clinicians incorporate autism-specific history-gathering and clinical interview into your existing assessment process, providing a more complete picture of your overall profile.
Whether the Adult Autism Add-On is appropriate is determined through clinical review of your intake information.
This add-on requires collateral input, such as someone who has known you since childhood or early developmental records (e.g., report cards), since some developmental history isn't fully captured by adult self-report alone.
The Adult Autism Add-On costs $2,000 when added to an existing assessment.
For clients without an existing assessment to attach the add-on to, we also offer a standalone Comprehensive Autism Assessment, which can include evaluation for co-occurring conditions such as ADHD and anxiety, for $4,500.
If you have insurance coverage for psychological services, our team can provide an estimate to help determine the portion of the cost that may be covered by your plan.
