About us

Embrace Autism is an autistic-led organization providing research-based autism education, screening resources, and psychologist-led autism assessments for adults.

Founded in 2018, Embrace Autism was created to make high-quality information about adult autism easier to understand and access—particularly for autistic adults who are high-masking, late-identified, or exploring autism later in life.

Over the past 8+ years, Embrace Autism has grown into an international resource used by autistic adults, families, clinicians, and researchers through our educational articles, autism questionnaires, screening services, and formal autism assessments.

Our educational content is written and reviewed by autistic PhDs, Master’s-level professionals, psychologists, and medical doctors (MDs).

We combine academic research, clinical expertise, and autistic lived experience to create accessible, evidence-informed resources about autism, masking, autistic burnout, alexithymia, ADHD, and related aspects of neurodivergence.

Embrace Autism was built from within the autistic community. We use identity-first language and approach autism as a neurodevelopmental difference rather than defining autistic people solely in terms of deficits.

Our work has a particular focus on adult autism, late identification, and masking, including autistic presentations that have historically been overlooked or misunderstood.

Formal autism assessments offered through Embrace Autism are conducted by licensed psychologists, including autistic psychologists, with experience assessing autism in adults, including late-identified and high-masking autistic adults.

Our psychologists provide assessments to adults and are located in Canada, the United States, Australia, and other eligible jurisdictions.

Because professional licensing and registration requirements differ between jurisdictions, the psychologist who can provide an assessment depends on where the client is physically located.
