Before You Book
What if a previous evaluation did not identify autism?
A previous evaluation can be helpful context, but it does not automatically determine the outcome of this assessment. I consider your developmental patterns, lived experience, masking, sensory and communication needs, functional impact, and internal experience.
Is this a neuropsychological evaluation or an assessment for ADHD?
This is a clinical autism assessment. It does not include separate formal evaluations for ADHD or other conditions, or full neuropsychological, educational, forensic, or legal disability testing.
Can the diagnostic letter be used for accommodations?
A one-page diagnostic letter is included when autism is clinically identified. If you need documentation for an employer, school, or government program, confirm its requirements before booking. Acceptance of the letter cannot be guaranteed.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
You may reschedule without an additional charge with at least 48 hours' notice. For cancellations more than 48 hours before the appointment, a $75 administrative fee is retained. For cancellations less than 48 hours before the appointment, 50% of the assessment fee is retained. Please review the full current policy during scheduling before paying.
What if the available appointment times do not work for me?
If no appointment works for you, you can use the Acuity waitlist to request a specific time or a broader window. If a matching opening becomes available, Acuity can notify you so you can return to book it.
