Autism & ADHD Assessment

Clarity. Confidence. Support.

At Whole Hearted Wellness (WHW), Autism and ADHD assessments are designed to be thoughtful, affirming, and comprehensive, with attention to the whole person—not just a checklist of symptoms.

After scheduling, you’ll receive secure access to our HIPAA-compliant platform, Simple Practice, where you’ll complete intake paperwork and questionnaires at your own pace. Standardized assessment tools are administered through NovoPsych, a secure, evidence-based testing system used by clinicians.

The assessment process may include:

A detailed clinical interview exploring current concerns, developmental history, and lived experiences
Standardized measures for Autism and/or ADHD
Consideration of cultural context, masking, trauma history, and co-occurring mental health concerns
Space for questions, reflection, and collaboration throughout the process

Following the assessment, results are reviewed in a scheduled feedback session where findings are explained clearly and compassionately. When appropriate, written documentation and individualized recommendations are provided to support self-understanding, accommodations, and next steps.

Will this assessment tell me “what’s wrong with me”?

No. The focus is on understanding patterns, strengths, needs, and nervous system responses—not deficits.

Can assessment results be used in therapy even without a diagnosis?

Yes. Many clients use assessment insights to inform therapy goals, communication strategies, boundaries, and relationship work regardless of diagnostic outcome.

Is this assessment trauma-informed and culturally responsive?

Yes. WHW takes into account trauma history, cultural context, masking, and identity factors—especially for adults and individuals from marginalized communities.

How This Can Support Relationships, Couples, and Intimacy

An Autism or ADHD assessment is not about labeling or limiting you. Diagnosis is not a prerequisite for benefiting from the process, and not everyone who seeks assessment will meet all the diagnostic criteria. The primary objective is to gain understanding, not to conform to a predefined category. You retain complete control over how the results are utilized, shared, or integrated into your care.

For Couples & Relationships

Understanding how we communicate, process emotions, deal with conflicts, have routines, and process sensory information can help us avoid misunderstandings. When we know how our partners do things, we can set clearer expectations and build more compassionate and collaborative relationships.

For Sex Therapy & Intimacy

Neurodivergence can affect how we feel, what we’re attracted to, and how we process sensory information. It can also influence our desire for new experiences, our comfort level with routine, and our ability to initiate and maintain intimacy. Understanding these patterns can be really helpful in sex therapy. It can help individuals and couples feel more comfortable and confident, and it can lead to a more enjoyable and fulfilling sexual experience.

For Late-Diagnosed Adults

Many adults feel like they’re different, misunderstood, or burnt out after years of feeling this way. Getting a diagnosis later in life can be a huge relief, clarity, and self-compassion. It helps people understand what they’ve been masking and feeling exhausted about, and it can lead to better relationships and a life that truly reflects their true selves. This can help build healthier relationships, have more fulfilling intimacy, communicate better, and feel more self-accepting.
