Adult Assessment Services
At Autism Wellness, we adopt a neurodiversity-affirming approach to autism assessments, recognizing autism as valuable brain differences that enrich our communities with diversity.
We understand how transformational an autism assessment can be and are honored if you choose us to be a part of your journey.
Our goal is to offer safe, predictable, and personalized assessments where our clients’ positive experience is our priority.
We believe it is important for you to get to know your clinician and feel like you are a good match before investing in an assessment (video introductions of Drs. Porthukaran and Rose coming soon).
It is also important to consider whether an assessment and a formal diagnosis is right for you.
