Teen Autism Assessment

Finally understand why you experience the world differently

You're Not Weird. You're Autistic.

If you've spent your life feeling like you're different from everyone else, struggling to fit in, or wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so hard for you - you're not alone. An autism assessment can help you finally understand yourself.

We specialize in assessing teens who may have been missed by traditional screenings - especially girls, queer folks, and anyone who's learned to "mask" their differences to fit in.

What to Expect During Your Assessment

Our assessment is designed to be comfortable and respectful. We want to understand your experience, not just check boxes on a form.

1

Getting to Know You

We start by having a conversation about your life, experiences, and what made you want to get assessed. Your perspective matters most.

2

Standardized Assessment Tools

We use specialized tools designed to identify autism, including ones that can detect high-masking presentations that others miss.

3

Your Written Report

You receive a comprehensive report documenting findings that can be used for school accommodations, self-understanding, and support.

4

Feedback Session

We explain your results, answer all your questions, and provide resources and recommendations tailored to you.

Signs You Might Be Autistic

Autism doesn't look the same in everyone. Here are some experiences that might resonate with you:

Social Differences

  • Feeling exhausted after socializing
  • Not understanding unwritten social rules
  • Preferring deep 1-on-1 conversations over groups
  • Feeling like you're acting a role around others
  • Missing social cues that others seem to catch easily

Sensory & Interests

  • Being bothered by certain sounds, textures, or lights
  • Having intense interests you could talk about for hours
  • Needing routines or getting upset when plans change
  • Stimming (fidgeting, rocking, humming) to self-regulate
  • Getting overwhelmed in busy environments

Internal Experience

  • Feeling like an alien or outsider
  • Working harder than peers just to seem "normal"
  • Being told you're "too sensitive" or "too much"
  • Experiencing burnout, anxiety, or depression
  • Knowing you're different but not knowing why

Remember: You don't need to relate to everything on this list. Autism is a spectrum, and everyone's experience is unique. If you're questioning whether you might be autistic, that's reason enough to get assessed.

Why Get Assessed?

Getting a formal diagnosis as a teen can open doors and help you build a life that works for you.

School Accommodations

Get a 504 Plan or IEP with accommodations like extended test time, quiet spaces, flexible deadlines, and sensory breaks.

Self-Understanding

Finally understand why you are the way you are. Stop blaming yourself for struggling with things that don't match how your brain works.

Community

Connect with other autistic teens and adults who understand your experiences. You're not alone.

Future Planning

Prepare for college with disability services documentation, or for work with accommodations. Your diagnosis follows you into adulthood.

Assessment Investment

Understanding yourself is an investment in your future wellbeing.

Think You Might Have Both Autism and ADHD?

ADHD and autism often occur together (AuDHD). If you're wondering about both, we can evaluate for both conditions. Understanding your complete neurological profile ensures you get the right support.
