Adult ADHD, Autism, & Learning Evaluations
Understanding Yourself as an Adult
It’s never too late to learn more about yourself. Many adults reach a point in life where they start to wonder if challenges with attention, organization, social connections, or learning are more than just “quirks.” Maybe you’ve always felt a bit different, or perhaps you’ve noticed certain struggles becoming more pronounced at work, in relationships, or while managing daily responsibilities. Seeking answers is a brave and positive step toward self-understanding and growth.
For adults, getting evaluated for ADHD, Autism, or learning differences isn’t just about getting a label—it’s about making sense of your experiences and discovering new ways to thrive. Many adults have spent years developing strategies to cope or “mask” their differences, often without realizing that there’s a name for what they’re experiencing. Understanding your unique brain wiring can be empowering, validating, and even life-changing.
What Might Lead an Adult to Seek Evaluation?
Attention & Focus: Do you find it hard to concentrate on tasks, stay organized, or remember appointments? Are you easily distracted or prone to procrastination?
Social Connections: Do you feel out of sync in social situations, struggle with small talk, or find it hard to read social cues? Have you always felt a bit “different” from others?
Learning Challenges: Have you faced difficulties with reading, writing, math, or processing information that have followed you from school into adulthood?
Emotional Regulation: Are your emotions sometimes overwhelming or hard to manage? Do you notice patterns of frustration, anxiety, or feeling “stuck”?
Life Transitions: Are new jobs, relationships, or major changes especially challenging for you to navigate?
What Does the Evaluation Process Look Like?
Our evaluation process for adults is designed to be collaborative, respectful, and supportive. We know you bring a lifetime of experiences, strengths, and insights to the table—and we want to hear your story.
Comprehensive Interview: We start by getting to know you—your history, your current challenges, and your goals for the evaluation. We’ll talk about your childhood, school experiences, work life, relationships, and anything else that feels relevant.
Standardized Measures: Depending on your concerns, we may use questionnaires or cognitive tests to better understand your attention, memory, executive functioning, social skills, or learning profile.
Input from Others: If you’re comfortable, we may ask for input from a partner, family member, or close friend who knows you well, as this can provide valuable perspective.
Feedback & Support: After gathering all the information, we’ll meet to discuss the results and what they mean for you. Our goal is to provide clear, compassionate feedback and practical recommendations tailored to your needs.
Why Seek an Adult Evaluation?
Understanding your brain and how it works can be transformative at any age. An evaluation can help you:
Make sense of lifelong patterns and experiences
Access workplace or academic accommodations
Build stronger relationships and communication skills
Develop effective strategies for organization, time management, or emotional regulation
Connect with supportive communities and resources
Most importantly, an evaluation is an opportunity to embrace your strengths and unique identity. Whether you discover you are autistic, have ADHD, or a learning difference—or simply gain new insights about yourself—this knowledge can open doors to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
