Helps you understand if a full assessment makes sense for you.

A full diagnostic autism assessment is a significant investment in time, energy, and cost. Our screening helps you decide before committing to that larger step.

You’ll receive a clear 10–15-page report explaining how your results do or don’t align with common autistic patterns in adults—along with clinical guidance to help you make an informed decision about whether pursuing a full diagnostic assessment could be worthwhile.

Assessment services

Our autism screening and diagnostic assessment consist of the following:

Part 1

Autism
screening

$CA595

What you’ll receive

At the end of the screening, you’ll receive a personal written report with evidence-informed feedback from a psychologist. The report explains how your results do—or do not—align with common autistic patterns in adults and offers guidance on next steps, so you can decide with greater confidence whether pursuing a full diagnostic assessment is likely to be worthwhile.

Screening process

Our autism screening is completed online and at your own pace. It includes 3 components:

  • Questionnaires – Answer standardized, evidence-based questionnaires which assess autistic traits, patterns, and related experiences.
  • Written reflections – Share your personal insights and lived experiences through guided written prompts, allowing nuance beyond psychometric test scores.
  • Clinical review – A psychologist carefully reviews your responses and prepares a written report that integrates your results and provides decision support.

Timeline

The screening report is typically completed 3–6 weeks after all materials are submitted.

Part 2

Diagnostic
assessment

$CA1,895

What you’ll receive

At the end of the diagnostic assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report prepared by a psychologist. The report explains whether you meet diagnostic criteria for autism and/or related conditions, integrates clinical findings with your lived experience, and provides clear documentation—in clear, accessible language—for understanding, validation, and potential next steps.

Diagnostic assessment process

The diagnostic assessment is completed remotely and builds on your screening results. It is a comprehensive, all-inclusive evaluation (there are no additional fees for assessing related conditions). It includes the following components:

  • Additional questionnaires & psychometrics – Competently validated psychometric measures that explore autism in greater depth.
  • Co-occurring conditions – A differential diagnosis and exploration of the following co-occurrences:
  • Clinical interview – A 50 minute video interview with a psychologist, informed by the ADOS-2 Module 4 and adapted for adult, high-masking presentations.
  • Clinical review – A psychologist integrates questionnaire results and interview findings.

Timeline

  • Clinical interview: You’ll be invited to book within 12–16 weeks after completing diagnostic questionnaires.
  • Diagnostic report: up to 2–4 weeks after the diagnostic interview has taken place.
