Clear answers and next steps through thoughtful assessment, including ADHD and autism evaluations. Learn how assessment works at Origins.

Sometimes the most useful first step is understanding what is going on. An assessment is a structured process that looks at your history, experiences and current challenges so you can put words to them and find support that fits.

Our assessment services include ADHD and autism evaluations, offered with respect for how many people have been missed or misunderstood, especially adults and people who mask. The result is a clear picture, not a label to fear, and a plan for what comes next.

Common questions

What does an assessment involve?

Typically interviews about your history and current experiences, questionnaires, and sometimes information from people who know you. The clinician then reviews the results with you and explains what they mean.

Do I need an assessment to start therapy?

No. Many people begin therapy without a formal assessment. An assessment can help if you want clarity about a possible diagnosis or need documentation for school, work or accommodations.
