Do you offer adult autism diagnosis near me?

Yes! We provide online adult autism assessments in most states. If you’re searching for “adult autism diagnosis near me,” we offer remote evaluations with the same depth, care, and expertise you’d expect from an in-person experience, all from the comfort of your own home.

Is your practice only for women or AFAB individuals?

Nope! While we specialize in high-masking presentations, which often include women, trans, and nonbinary folks, we welcome all adults seeking clarity, support, and neurodivergent-affirming care.

What is neurodivergent?
Neurodivergent refers to people whose brain processes information in a different way. Neurodivergent cnditions include autism, ADHD, and many more.
Are your providers neurodivergent?

Yes, all of our providers and coaches are autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent. We believe in the power of lived experience and identity-aware care.

Assessment Questions


How do I know if I need an adult autism test or an ADHD assessment?

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Am I autistic?” or “Do I have ADHD?”, it’s worth exploring. Many of our clients are late-identified and have spent years masking. Our assessments help bring clarity and relief, not labels.

What’s included in your adult autism and ADHD evaluations?

Our narrative-based approach to assessment includes a collaborative clinical interview; standardized, research-backed tools like the DIVA-5, MIGDAS-2, and relevant screeners; an opportunity for a partner, friend, or parent to provide input; and documentation of any official diagnosis. We also offer an optional report that includes relevant background information, diagnostic impressions, strengths, and personalized recommendations.

How much does an adult autism or ADHD assessment cost?

Our assessments range from $900 to $2,000 depending on whether you’re seeking an autism-only, ADHD-only, or combined AuDHD assessment. Our pricing is straightforward and transparent. We’ll walk you through your options so you only pay for what you need.

Do you diagnose both autism and ADHD at the same time?

Yes, we specialize in AuDHD assessments. Many of our clients present with overlapping traits, and our process is designed to honor the full spectrum of your neurotype.

Will I receive a formal diagnosis I can use for workplace or school accommodations?

Yes. All of our assessments include official documentation of any formal diagnosis assigned, and our reports meet clinical documentation standards for requesting ADA accommodations, workplace support, academic services, and more.

Can I get a second opinion on a past diagnosis or misdiagnosis?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after being misdiagnosed or misunderstood. We offer second-opinion assessments and re-evaluations to help you get clarity.

Coaching & Therapy Questions


Do you offer therapy for autistic adults?

Yes, in select states. Our licensed therapists provide trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD adults. We offer individual therapy as well as individual and group coaching. 

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy is a clinical healthcare service that treats mental health conditions. Coaching is not a clinical service; it’s goal-oriented and solution-focused, often used for executive functioning, burnout recovery, or identity exploration. NeuroSpark Health offers both coaching and therapy through a neurodivergent lens.

Can I work with you if I’m not officially diagnosed?

Absolutely! Many of our clients are self-identified or exploring their neurodivergence. You are welcome here regardless of a formal diagnosis.

Do you offer support groups for autistic adults?

We do! Our signature burnout recovery group, Glimmer, runs several times a year and is intended for ADHD and autistic adults. 

Fees, Forms, & Accessibility Info


Are your services covered by insurance?

We are private pay only and do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients use their out-of-network benefits or submit superbills for reimbursement following assessment or therapy. 

Can you help with disability paperwork or FMLA forms?

Yes, we regularly assist clients with ADA accommodations, short-term disability documentation, and FMLA paperwork. We’re happy to complete forms and write letters to support your access needs.

Do you work with clients outside the U.S.?

We primarily serve U.S.-based clients, but we also offer coaching services to individuals abroad.

Diagnostic Clarity & Next Steps


What happens after I get an autism diagnosis?

You’ll receive official documentation of any formal diagnosis assigned, and we’ll make personalized recommendations for next steps. If you’d like additional support integrating your diagnosis, you can add a personalized feedback session, request a written report, or work with one of our team members for post-diagnosis coaching.

Is it too late to be diagnosed as an adult?

Never. We work with adults of all ages, from college students to retirees. It’s never too late to understand yourself or your neurotype.

Will an adult autism diagnosis change who I am?

No, it will explain who you are. Many clients say that getting diagnosed helped them feel more seen, valid, and grounded than ever before.
