AUTISM ASSESSMENTS FOR ADULTS
“Could I be autistic?” If you’ve quietly wondered, you’re not alone.
If you’ve spent years masking, coping, or feeling like something didn’t quite fit, it might not be all in your head.
Maybe a loved one was recently diagnosed. Maybe burnout is becoming harder to ignore. Or maybe you’ve carried that quiet question for too long:
“What if it’s me?”
At Elara Psychology Clinic, we provide neuroaffirming, adult autism assessments that help you finally understand what’s beneath the overwhelm.
No waitlist
In person at Erina or Telehealth across Australia
Clear process, compassionate care, flexible payment options
Before the Diagnosis: The Quiet Struggle
You’ve done your best to manage—but that doesn’t mean it was easy.
If you’re like many of the adults we work with, you’ve always known you were different - but not why.
You may have:
Felt overwhelmed by noise, bright lights, or chaotic environments
Struggled in social situations but learned to "mask" or overcompensate
Burnt out from people-pleasing, high-achieving, or keeping it all together
Needed routines, rituals, or control just to function day to day
Found yourself drained after interactions that others seem to enjoy
Wondered if there was something “wrong” with you, but couldn’t explain it
You are not broken. You may simply be autistic, and never had the language for it until now.
What Our Adult Autism Assessment Involves
A respectful, supportive process that helps you connect the dots.
We offer thorough, professional, and compassionate assessments tailored for adults, especially late-diagnosed women and AFAB individuals with internalised presentations.
Our process includes:
Pre-assessment questionnaires
After booking, you'll complete forms to help us understand your history, challenges, and strengths.3-hour diagnostic interview
In person or via Telehealth, this structured session explores your developmental history, sensory experiences, and masking traits. We use neuroaffirming tools like the MIGDAS-2.Feedback session (60 mins)
Once your assessment is complete, we’ll meet again to talk through your results, provide guidance, and help you process what it all means—emotionally and practically.Comprehensive written report
A comprehensive report with support recommendations is provided within 4–6 weeks of your feedback session.
Pricing & Payment
Professional, clear and flexible
We want this process to feel supportive and accessible, with no surprises along the way.
Total cost: $1500, paid in three equal instalments:
$500 deposit at the time of booking (this secures your appointment and includes pre-assessment questionnaires)
$500 at the time of your 3-hour clinical diagnostic interview
$500 at your feedback session, where we discuss the results and ongoing recommendations
Flexible payment plans available | No GP referral required | In-person or Telehealth options available
If you're planning to use this report as part of an NDIS access request, we're happy to support you.
Please note, however, that final funding decisions are made by the NDIA.
Who We Work With
This space is for you, especially if you’ve…
Spent years feeling “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too different”
Relied on masking, scripting, or overachievement to get through the day
Felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or never truly understood
Wondered why everyone else seems to cope more easily
Finally started asking questions after a loved one was diagnosed
This assessment isn’t about labelling you—it’s about freeing you to understand yourself with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Why Elara Psychology Clinic?
You’ve carried this question long enough. We’ll walk with you through the answer.
As the Principal Psychologist, Kerry has a particular interest in working with adults who are autistic and have ADHD and those who were missed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood. Her approach is grounded in compassion, clinical skill and a genuine understanding of how complex and emotional this journey can be.
We work with people who:
May appear “too sensitive” to their environment or social dynamics
Are drained by social interactions, even when they “seem fine”
Have always felt different but never knew why
Are ready to explore their neurotype in a calm, supportive space
When you work with Kerry, you’ll be met with:
Deep understanding of internalised traits and masking
Clinical expertise delivered with compassion
A neuroaffirming, trauma-informed approach tailored to adult experience
An interest in high-masking women/AFAB and internalised traits
Assessments that feel human, not clinical
Support that continues beyond your diagnosis
You don’t need to keep wondering. Let’s explore the answer..together..
