Understanding Adult Autism: Why Diagnosis Matters at Any Age

If you're an adult wondering whether you might be autistic, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're not too late. Many people reach adulthood without ever receiving an autism diagnosis, especially those who’ve learned to mask their traits or who didn’t fit the stereotypes often portrayed in childhood assessments.

As a psychologist specializing in neuroaffirming autism evaluations for adults, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients as they explore their identity, seek clarity, and begin to understand themselves in new and empowering ways.

Getting an autism diagnosis as an adult isn’t about labeling; it’s about insight. It can help explain lifelong patterns, validate your experiences, and open doors to support, accommodations, and community. Whether you’ve struggled with sensory sensitivities, social burnout, or a persistent feeling of being “different,” an evaluation can offer answers.

I provide online autism assessments for adults across the U.S., including through PSYPACT, which allows me to work with clients in participating states. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for neurodiversity.

If you're curious about whether an evaluation is right for you, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to be understood, not just by others, but by yourself.
