Adult autism assessment in Footscray

Our approach

Westside Psychology provides comprehensive adult autism assessments in Footscray, supporting people from across Melbourne's inner west and beyond.

An autism assessment can help adults who have spent years feeling different, misunderstood or unsure why certain aspects of everyday life seem more difficult than they appear to be for others.

A neuroaffirming approach

Our assessment process is informed by current evidence and takes a neuroaffirming approach.

Rather than focusing simply on difficulties or deficits, we aim to understand the whole person including; strengths, differences in communication and sensory processing, relationships, work, daily life and the strategies you may already have developed to navigate the world.

Assessment may be particularly relevant for adults who have been wondering about autism following their own research, a child's diagnosis, experiences with mental health services, or recognition of longstanding patterns in their life.

What does an adult autism assessment involve?

The assessment process involves a detailed exploration of your developmental history, current experiences and relevant areas of functioning.

Your psychologist will explain the assessment process, what information is required and what you can expect before you begin.

The outcome is a comprehensive assessment and feedback process designed to help you understand the findings and what they may mean for you.
