Adult ADHD & Autism Assessments in Adelaide

Evidence-based, neuroaffirming assessments for adults-including high-masking profiles. You’ll leave with clarity, a plan, and a report you can actually use.

Our approach

Who This Suits – late-identified adults; burnout; masking; role/relationship impacts.
What’s Included – clinical interview; standardised measures; collateral; differential dx; strengths profile.
Process & Timeline – intake → assessment(s) → scoring/formulation → feedback/report; typical 2–4 weeks.
What You Receive – diagnosis/ formulation; workplace/study recommendations; referral note for GP/psychiatrist if needed.
Fees & Funding – fixed-fee package; rebates/funding options (confirm in writing).

The assessment process

Step 1: Standardised measures.
Validated ADHD & autism screens and assessments for adults, adaptive functioning, and differential screening (ADHD, anxiety/depression, OCD, PTSD, eating and GI factors, learning). Collateral history from someone who knows your developmental history (optional but ideal).

Step 2: History & sensory profiling (90-120 min).
Communication, relationships, routines, sensory and motor differences, burnout/meltdowns/shutdowns, masking and its costs.

Step 3: Assessment completion, feedback & planning (90-120 min).
We reflect findings back to you, discuss language preferences, and co-design supports.

Step 4: Comprehensive report delivered.

Deliverables:

Clear diagnostic statement (where criteria are met)
Sensory & communication profile
Concrete accommodations (study/workplace/community)
Where relevant, guidance on NDIS evidence pathways

Timeline: Typically 3–5 weeks end-to-end, dependent on forms and booking windows.

What we look at (and how it helps)

Social-communication style: directness, literalness, info-dump joy, scripts-these are styles, not faults.
Patterning & predictability: routines, monotropism/special interests, demand dynamics (including PDA profiles).
Sensory/motor: sensitivities, interoception, proprioception, movement patterns.
Burnout & masking: costs, recovery, and boundary-setting.
Intersectionality: ADHD, 2e, trauma, gender diversity, chronic health-because humans are not checklists.

Fees, rebates & admin

Fees: Provided transparently before booking; instalments available.
Referrals & rebates: We’ll advise on what helps in your context.
NDIS: If you’re seeking supports, we align the report to functional domains and evidence standards.

Preparing for your assessment

Previous reports (if any)
