If you’ve ever wondered whether autism might explain certain lifelong patterns—like sensory sensitivities, social exhaustion, or a deep need for routine—you’re not alone. Many adults reach a point where they begin to seek answers that traditional mental health frameworks haven’t quite provided. As an adult autism specialist, I offer comprehensive, neuro-affirming assessments designed to help you explore these questions with care and clarity.
My evaluations are conducted entirely online and are available to adults living in the 41 states that participate in PSYPACT, a compact that allows licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology services across state lines. This means you can access specialized autism testing from the comfort of your home, even if there are no local providers with experience in adult diagnosis.
What Is PSYPACT?
PSYPACT—the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact—is an agreement among states that makes it easier for psychologists like me to offer telehealth services across state borders. It’s a game-changer for adults seeking autism evaluations, especially in areas where neurodiversity-affirming care is limited.
Current PSYPACT states include:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Additional states may join soon, expanding access to even more adults seeking answers.
What My Adult Autism Assessments Offer
Receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood can be a deeply validating experience. It can help reframe past struggles, provide language for your lived experience, and open up new possibilities for self-understanding and support. My approach is collaborative and affirming—I don’t just look for diagnostic criteria; I listen for your story.
As a tenured psychology professor and licensed clinician, I bring both academic rigor and a warm, person-centered lens to every evaluation. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered—whether you’re seeking a formal diagnosis or simply exploring your neurodivergent identity.
