Respectful, neuroaffirmative assessments for adults seeking clarity, understanding, and support.

At Be Kind Psychology, we provide high-quality autism assessments for adults who may be exploring a diagnosis later in life — often after years of masking, feeling misunderstood, or being misdiagnosed. Our approach is affirming, evidence-based, and grounded in compassion.

Our adult autism assessments are tailored to the individual and can be completed in person or online, depending on preference and clinical suitability.

Each assessment includes:

  • Initial appointment to explore personal history, goals, and concerns

  • Structured diagnostic interview

  • Direct observation using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2), delivered in person or online

  • Completion and analysis of standardised self-report measures

  • Review of historical records (e.g., school reports, psychological or medical documentation)

  • Optional third-party input from a partner, parent, or person who has known the individual since childhood (if appropriate and available)

  • Comprehensive written report with diagnostic conclusions and tailored recommendations

  • Feedback session to explain findings, answer questions, and provide guidance on next steps

Who is this assessment for?

This assessment may be helpful for adults who:

  • Experience longstanding differences in social communication, sensory processing, or emotional regulation

  • Have been previously misdiagnosed or misunderstood

  • Identify with autism and are seeking formal recognition and support

  • Want to access workplace accommodations, therapy, or educational supports

  • Are exploring their neurodivergent identity and seeking greater self-understanding

Our assessments are neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed, and collaborative. We respect each individual’s lived experience and provide clear, thoughtful feedback — whether or not a diagnosis is made. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge, language, and the next steps to move forward.
