One of my favourite things about autism assessments as a psychologist is that moment when the person I’m speaking with realises that I’m not testing them, I’m not trying to catch them out, and I’m not trying to see if they are ‘doing life wrong’. I’m just gathering lots of information to determine if they are autistic - and of course for an adult a large portion of this will be through conversation.
In terms of logistics, our assessment sessions go for three hours but have breaks throughout. I always say to people that it’s not a job interview - if they need to answer the door, go to the bathroom, or grab a snack at any time outside of the breaks, of course that’s totally fine.
After the three hours, we organise a follow-up session where you receive feedback and can see how we made our decision.
If the thought of ‘am I autistic?’ has been playing on your mind - we have immediate availability for assessments with our wonderful psychologist, Phoebe.
