Are You Autistic?

You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me, and I want to be transparent that I do not provide Autism diagnoses as part of my services.

However, if you’re seeking an evaluation—whether for yourself or your child—there are several helpful options available:

• For children, many school districts offer evaluations at no cost. This can be a good first step if you’re noticing differences in learning, behavior, or development.
• For individuals of any age, diagnostic evaluations can often be accessed through your primary care physician, a private provider, or specialized centers such as the UC Davis MIND Institute, which offers comprehensive assessments.

I understand that the process of seeking a diagnosis can feel overwhelming or even intimidating. If you have questions or need help navigating the next steps, I’m here to support you in whatever way I can.
