ADHD & Autism Assessments for High-Achieving Women
Let's make this an exceptional experience
Right now you might be feeling some anxiety, overwhelm and even some internalized mean girl nastiness ("maybe I'm just lazy...or everyone is going to think I'm chasing a trend"). A huge sense of relief and joy is just around the corner
I have a unique skill set with my background in perinatal mental health, trauma and business coaching. I already work with so many exceptional, funny ND women post diagnosis. With the stories of waiting lists getting longer and longer, I've decided it makes sense to offer online ADHD & Autism assessments.
The ADHD & Autism assessment process for women
Curious about what my assessment process looks like? This short video outlines the steps involved in being assessed for ADHD (& or Autism)
real talk:
Maybe your neurodivergent brain type hasn't been picked up because you don't fit the cliche!
You can be highly intelligent, ambitious, successful, high masking and have an ADHD/Autistic brain. In fact, I opened up this part of my business because I realised 90% of the entrepreneurs and mums I work with are neurodiverse!
Diagnosis can provide insight, clarity & relief
in 16 years of working with women I've noticed
Many women can mask adhd &/or autism...until they have kids!
The mental load of parenting and working can wipe out your executive functioning. This then affects your confidence as a mother. You might run a successful business but struggle to run a bath. Cue shame, anxiety & all the imposter fears.
That's where I can help
What do I get?
clear understanding of your neurotype
A clear picture of whether ADHD, autism, or both are relevant for you
A support plan to buffer challenges
I want you to have practical, evidence-based suggestions tailored to your life. I get what Mums struggle with & hold zero judgement
freedom to do what you're great at
You get to choose to parent or run a business in a way that suits your nervous system and strengths to a tea. Let me show you how to find a way that works
How does this sound?
This is what I recommend
Book a 15 minute chat (if you have questions or want to do a vibe check) - optional
Find a spot in my calendar & book in your assessment (up to 3 hours)
You'll be prompted to fill out questionnaires & make payment
On assessment day we'll have a long, in depth conversation (with breaks!)
Within 2 weeks, I'll write up a 2-5 page confirmation letter with practical suggestions
What are my options?
Just diagnosis
ADHD &/or Autism Assessment + letter only
Self-report measures to complete & return to me before assessment
Up tp 3 hours of clinical interview
A 2-5 page confirmation letter, info for work if desired & practical suggestions to make life a bit easier
$1500AUD (cost is same for just ADHD, just Autism or both)
Diagnosis + support
Support sessions
A diagnosis is great, but what about practical things like how to cope with work/kids & understanding how hormones fit into the mix?
$320AUD per session (before any Medicare or Private Health rebates)
Note: I currently have very limited availability for therapy
Is This Right For You?
You're more than ready for a diagnosis
an online adhd/Autism assessment suits
YOu've got the funds ready
is that a yes?
Book Your Assessment
If you're ready to get started, go ahead and book your ADHD and/or Autism assessment. There's quite a few questions to fill out to help me plan & kick off the assessment, so allow time. You can also read the FAQ below, email me or book a 15 minute chat with me first
Can you prescribe medication?
No. I can support you to understand medication+mood+hormones, but I can't prescribe it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you anti medication?
Not at all! I've seen it do wonderous things but as a Psychologist I obviously value behavioural and emotional approaches pretty highly too!
Will this assessment get me NDIS funding?
I can't gaurantee it. NDIS approval depends on many factors that are beyond my control.
Will Medicare cover my assessment?
Nope. You may be able to claim for further therapy but not assessment.
Can I use private health?
Private health may cover some. You'll need to ask your provider as companies and policies vary widely.
Letter vs Report? What's the difference?
A letter gives diagnosis, symptoms met & practical suggestions. Reports are typically written for professionals. I no longer offer long reports.
Do I need a referral?
No. Not for assessment. You only need a GP referral if you want to use Medicare to claim for therapy.
How do I prepare for an assessment?
Comfy clothes, water, snacks, fidgets & turn off notifications. Feel free to jot down notes before or during sessions. Pets can join you but no kids please
Why screen for both ADHD + Autism?
Statistically speaking, you're more likely to have both, so I like to be thorough & efficient! It's 100% your choice whether to explore one of both options, price is the same! I have a video explaining it here
Is ADHD+Autism overdiagnosed?
No. If we look at the research, adult females are far more likely to be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The diagnostic criteria were not writtten with high masking, high achieving women in mind
Inspiration to move through self-doubt & show up to make global impact Oh, & there's my flower farm & chickens!
