ASSESSMENT
HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE ONE HOLDING THE PEN
Neurodivergent self-identification is becoming more common. This is due to both a wider awareness of what neurodivergence is, and the high cost of an Autism or executive functioning (i.e., ADHD) assessment. Self-identification is a valid and an important part of moving forward. For many people, formal assessment with a psychologist is an important part of their journey, particularly if you are needing formal supports. If you are looking for formal assessment for Autism or ADHD, you can book here.

The assessment process is designed to be as cost effective as possible while maintaining diagnostic validity and clinical integrity. Costs include preparation, the time spent with you, and assessment-related work (e.g., scoring and interpretation, documentation). Medicare also now gives a rebate for Autism assessment, but you need to be under 25 years and have a psychiatrist referral. Press on these buttons for more information.
