Cognitive / Intelligence Testing
Many autistic adults have distinctive intellectual strengths as well as specific areas of weakness.

ADHD diagnostic addition
Autism and ADHD frequently co-occur, and many adults benefit from assessing both at the same time. A discounted ADHD diagnostic add-on can be combined with your ASD assessment so that the final report addresses both conditions and their treatment implications. A confirmed ADHD diagnosis can open access to targeted treatment, accommodations, and tools that significantly improve daily functioning and quality of life. The final report is usually shared with your family doctor, and Dr. Cohen can collaborate with your physician to help you start appropriate treatment.

FAQ: Autism Diagnosis for Adults
What exactly is ASD?
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR), ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms present from early childhood, though often unrecognized until adulthood. This professional assessment ensures accuracy and clarity for your specific experience.
How Do I Know If I Need an Adult Autism Assessment?
You might notice symptoms that align with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), such as challenges in social communication, sensory sensitivities, or repetitive behaviors. However, a true diagnosis requires a comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation by a qualified clinician to distinguish ASD from similar conditions like ADHD.
If I do not have autism, do I still have to complete the full assessment?
Not necessarily. The process begins with screening to determine whether a full assessment is indicated. If initial information suggests that autism is unlikely, the assessment plan can be adjusted so that you are not taken through unnecessary testing.
How long does the assessment take?
Most adults complete three assessment meetings with Dr. Cohen and one separate feedback session. In addition, you will complete a battery of questionnaires and tests at home, as well as a developmental questionnaire, ideally with input from a family member or someone who knew you in childhood.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. Your assessment and report are fully confidential. You receive the report directly, and you decide whether to share it with your doctor, employer, school, or anyone else. You can also request a redacted version of the report that removes sensitive information, so you can provide different versions for medical and institutional purposes.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is a comprehensive clinical interview with Dr. Cohen. You will discuss your history, current concerns, strengths, and challenges in detail. This is also your opportunity to share questions, clarify goals for the assessment, and ensure that the evaluation focuses on what matters most to you.
Are ASD assessments covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. Many clients have at least partial coverage for psychological assessments. The clinic can provide an estimate and a detailed receipt to help you work with your insurer and understand your out-of-pocket costs in advance.
