DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS FOR ADHD AND AUTISM (Adults 21+)
Autism and ADHD presentation and experience can vary greatly from person to person, making it difficult to trust your own thoughts regarding self-diagnosis. While self-identification as neurodivergent is certainly valid, there may still be a desire to have a clinician formally confirm or rule out a diagnosis. The benefits of seeking a formal diagnosis of ADHD or autism as an adult includes greater self-understanding and self-compassion and the ability to advocate for workplace or medical accommodations if needed.
Please note: If you are seeking a diagnosis for the purpose of receiving WA state disability, you will need to be assessed by a psychologist, neurologist or psychiatrist. You can find a referral list to such providers on my Resource page under ADHD and Autism psychological testing. Furthermore, an assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis and a diagnosis does not guarantee any accommodations. If you are seeking accommodations, please verify with the organization what they require for access.
