Adult ADHD & Autism Evaluations in New Orleans

Clarity, Understanding, and Support for Adults

Increasingly, more adults are seeking evaluations for ADHD, Autism, or other developmental differences to better understand lifelong patterns of strengths and challenges. For some, this comes after a child receives a diagnosis; for others, it’s connected to struggles in school, work, or relationships. An evaluation can provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and open the door to meaningful support.

Why Adults Seek an Evaluation

Adults often come in wondering if ADHD or Autism could explain difficulties they’ve experienced for years, or even decades. Common reasons include:

  • Struggles with focus, organization, or memory at work or school.

  • Feeling “different” or misunderstood in social settings and relationships.

  • Seeking accommodations for higher education, professional exams, or the workplace.

  • A desire for greater self-understanding and self-acceptance.

  • Having a child recently diagnosed and recognizing similar patterns in themselves.

A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

I believe every individual has unique strengths, and my evaluations are designed to be affirming, compassionate, and practical. Rather than focusing only on difficulties, I highlight areas of resilience and ability. A neurodiversity-affirming perspective reduces stigma and helps adults feel empowered by a deeper understanding of themselves.

What the Evaluation Includes

An adult ADHD or autism evaluation is tailored to your needs and may include:

  • Comprehensive interview to understand your history and current concerns.

  • Standardized assessments focused on ADHD and/or autism in adults.

  • Rating scales and questionnaires to capture different perspectives.

  • Personalized written report summarizing findings and clear recommendations.

  • Feedback session where we review results together and discuss next steps.
