Making sense of patterns you’ve lived with for years.
For many adults, long-standing trouble with attention, organization, social situations, sensory overload, or change gets harder to manage, or suddenly starts to make sense. An evaluation looks at whether it fits ADHD, autism, both (sometimes called AuDHD), or something else.
Get in touchWhen it might be ADHD
You might be wondering about ADHD if you notice:
- Putting things off, or struggling to get started
- Trouble with organization, time, or following through
- Losing things or forgetting what you’ve committed to
- Focus that comes and goes
- Restlessness, or acting on impulse
- Knowing you’re capable but not being able to show it consistently
When it might be autism
You might be wondering about autism if you notice:
- Social expectations that don’t come intuitively
- Having to consciously work through conversations or social situations
- Sensitivity to sound, light, texture, or other input
- A strong preference for routine and predictability
- Deep, focused interests
- Exhaustion after socializing, masking, or repeated burnout
- A long-standing sense of being different or misunderstood
Seeing the whole picture
ADHD and autism often show up together, and both can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, learning disorders, and more.
A questionnaire score alone doesn’t make a diagnosis. Your history, how you’re doing now, and what comes up in testing all go into the conclusion.
How it works
- Getting to know you. A detailed conversation about your history and how things are going now, along with records like report cards or past evaluations.
- Testing. Questionnaires and structured interviews, with cognitive or academic testing when it would help. With your permission, a parent, partner, or someone who knows you well can weigh in.
- Feedback. A meeting to go through whether the findings point to ADHD, autism, both, or something else, and recommendations. These might cover treatment, everyday strategies, support at work or school, sensory needs, or communication.
If you need accommodations
If you’re mainly looking for accommodations at school or on a high-stakes exam, tell us at the start. You may need a broader learning and academic accommodations evaluation instead.
