Adult ADHD & Autism Evaluations
When you want to know for sure.
Many adults begin questioning ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or autism later in life, often after years of masking, burnout, anxiety, or feeling like we’re constantly failing.
Some of us, like me, only realized we were neurodivergent when our kids were diagnosed.
Maybe you’re one of those folks who thinks they’re “probably” neurodivergent, but would like the confirmation and validation that a professional evaluation and report can provide.
Whether you’re already sure you’re neurodivergent and need support
or
you want to find out for sure by having a confidential ADHD/Autism assessment
