Have you ever felt different from others and wondered if these feelings could be related to autism?
Are you curious if an autism diagnosis might provide insight into challenges you face in relationships or at work?
For adults who have long suspected they may be on the autism spectrum, finding answers can bring clarity, self-acceptance, and guidance in approaching everyday life. If you have been contemplating whether a diagnosis could shed light on the challenges you encounter in your relationships or at work, you are not alone.
Our specialized assessment team is here to support you in your journey towards clarity and self-acceptance. Given that, we are proud to offer a Brief ASD Assessment, a timely and focused option for adults seeking to understand if Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) might illuminate some of their life experiences.
Why Consider a Brief ASD Assessment?
Many adults on the autism spectrum remain undiagnosed due to the subtlety or misinterpretation of autistic traits in adulthood. While traditional comprehensive assessments offer thorough insights, they often involve significant time and financial commitments. Our Brief ASD Assessment serves as a cost-effective and streamlined option, enabling adults to examine autism-related traits under the guidance of a professional. This assessment is particularly suited for those seeking to determine if they meet the criteria for autism spectrum disorder without undergoing a full diagnostic evaluation necessary for accommodations.
What to Expect from the Brief ASD Assessment
The Catalyst Center’s Brief ASD Assessment protocol is carried out by a team of skilled psychologists committed to empowering clients with a deeper understanding of their individual characteristics. Throughout this assessment, you will encounter a supportive and insightful experience designed to clarify your unique traits.
- Expert Insights at a Lower Cost: Receive expert evaluation from a licensed psychologist for a fraction of the cost of a full psychological assessment.
- A Clear, Actionable Diagnosis: If you meet the DSM-5 criteria for ASD, you’ll receive an official diagnosis, which can clarify your experiences and support personal growth.
- Guidance if You Don’t Meet ASD Criteria: If you don’t meet the ASD criteria, our psychologists will provide alternative explanations to help you understand your traits.
- Comprehensive Results Letter: You’ll receive a detailed letter explaining the assessment findings, which can be shared with loved ones or medical providers to enhance support and understanding.
