Neuroaffirming Autism Evaluations

We are committed to fostering a neuroaffirming environment that acknowledges and respects the diversity of the autism spectrum and all neurotypes, including unique presentations such as Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). We believe in the importance of recognizing and understanding neurodiversity in all its forms.

When assessing for autism, we embrace a personalized approach, understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all method, and that the aim is not to make neurodivergent individuals conform to neurotypical standards. Our primary goal is to address the specific challenges that an individual may find frustrating, overwhelming, or distressing.

Our assessments are designed to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child's unique strengths and differences. We provide recommendations to support areas that may be causing distress and offer diagnostic clarity, particularly when there are concerns about multiple diagnoses. We are here to collaborate with you and your family, ensuring that our approach is both supportive and empowering.
