The total out-of-pocket cost for my adult autism evaluation with a comprehensive written report is $1,800. A diagnosis verification letter and accommodations request for work/university are also included. 

The fee for each telehealth session (assessments, clinical interview, and feedback) is $600, payable after each of the three sessions. The fee is paid with a credit or HSA/HFA card stored in a secure portal. 

The evaluation consists of six parts, including three telehealth sessions. The multi-step process is detailed below:

Pre-assessment consultation (free)

Once you contact me by email through my website or Psychology Today, we will arrange a 15-20-minute telehealth consultation session. During this session, I can answer all your questions and assist you in determining whether an adult autism evaluation is something you want to pursue. 

Part 1.

Complete a series of intake forms and screeners.

Duration: 45-60 minutes before the first session (on your own).

Part 2.

Take a battery of psychometric assessments, including screeners for differential diagnosis (e.g., trauma, depression, and anxiety).

Duration: 55 minutes during the first telehealth session.

First $600 installment due

Finish assessments not completed.

Part 4.

Participate in a comprehensive clinical interview.

Part 5.

I provide the evaluation results in a transparent and comprehensive process during a personalized PowerPoint presentation.

Duration: 55 minutes during the third telehealth session.
