In an era where anyone can say anything and claim it's true, how do you know who to listen to for information about autism and autism diagnoses?
Misinformation about autism abounds across social media platforms. It can be confusing and contradictory. It's hard to tell whether someone across a screen - someone who doesn't know you - has the most accurate information for you.
If you're evaluating statements about autism diagnosis, look at the the depth of what the source knows about the history of autism, about diagnostic criteria, about barriers, about bias and inclusion and dignity. Ask what they've experienced for themselves when engaging with others, when delving into a deeper understanding of themselves, when accessing services. Find out if they have the background necessary to provide grounded insights and quality resources.

What an Autism Pre-Screening Assessment Can Do For You
We offer autism pre-screening assessments suitable for all ages.
This service is not a formal diagnosis, but it is a research-based, medically grounded assessment that provides equally meaningful insights and lays a solid foundation for the rest of your journey.
Our medical-level assessment can save you significant time and money if you are deciding whether to seek out a diagnosis. You may decide that this is all the confirmation and information that you need for yourself or you may find that autism is not the most precise description of your traits. In either case, this can save you significant expense and years spent on a waitlist.
Most importantly, it can help you achieve a deeper understanding of yourself. It can help you feel heard and understood. It can help you see how aspects of yourself are connected and influence each other. It can provide a guiding point for learning more about yourself and connecting with others. It can help you appreciate aspects of yourself that you might not have before, or it can validate the pride you already took in your traits.
These assessments are paired with consultation from an empathetic, affirming perspective. We will measure behavior trends across several categories and give you insight into what those categories mean for you.
We've navigated the diagnosis process, support services, and funding sources for ourselves and our loved ones, and we have abundant insights to offer tailored to your specific circumstances and priorities.
We're going to break down the results in ways that show you the patterns across categories.
We're going to talk with you about how much more complex it is than just high and low.
We're going to help you navigate that complexity.
