The explanation you've been circling most of your life.
Autism and ADHD assessment for adults throughout Colorado.
You Did Everything That Diagnosis Asked
You were 19 the first time someone said anxiety.
Or 28, in a doctor’s office, on the way to a prescription.
You took the word and did what it asked. Some of it helped, a little.
Underneath all of it, a sentence you’ve never said out loud:
Something about me still hasn’t been accounted for.
You’ve Already Read Everything About This
You’ve read the threads, taken the screeners, and learned the vocabulary.
Every list describes about half of you.
The half it misses is the half you live in.
No article settles which half is true.
What if it's nothing, and this was always just me.
That fear is exactly why people wait to ask.
A question you've only ever asked in private can finally be asked out loud.
Ask It Out Loud and Get Started TodayThe One Pattern You Can't See From Inside
No amount of reading settles this from the inside, because decades of compensating hide the traits, including from you.
An evaluation starts outside that blind spot. Your development, your history, and how you function now get read against how autism and ADHD show up in adults who adapted early and adapted well.
It’s the one assessment you can’t run on yourself.
From Findings to a Manual You Can Follow
A finding on its own is just a word. The work is the translation: what it means for your mornings, your job, and the accommodations you build into your own week.
- Name what has been running your days since childhood.
- Read your own history with the right legend attached.
- Build days around how your attention actually behaves.
- Recognize masking early enough to choose whether to do it.
- Ask for what you need in plain language, without apologizing first.
The findings come out as instructions, in the order you'd use them.
Your Evaluation Moves Through Three Clear Phases
-
1
Discovery and Mapping
We work through how you grew up, what you learned to work around, and how your days run now. Decades of self-explanation get replaced by something examined.
You stop explaining yourself from memory. -
2
Blueprint and Translation
The findings get translated into plain language: what your attention does, what sensory load costs you, and which adjustments follow from that. This is the manual part.
You get a legend for your own terrain. -
3
Running Your Own Days
You put it to use. The adjustments go into your actual weeks, and the therapy work afterward happens with the same person.
The manual stops being a document and becomes habit.

Plenty of the people now in therapy with me started out as evaluation clients, so the findings never need handing to a stranger.

Frequently Asked Questions
A quiz sorts your self-report into a score. An evaluation works from your history and what your ordinary week costs you, read by someone trained to tell adult compensation from absence.
We go through the findings together and I explain what each part means in plain language. I’ll give you the timeline for your own evaluation when we plan it.
Nearly everyone who comes to me for an evaluation has years of therapy behind them, some of it useful and none of it conclusive. An evaluation often explains why the earlier work kept sliding off.
The adults I evaluate range from their thirties into their sixties. Age changes what you do with the answer more than it changes the value of having one.
That happens, and it’s still an answer. We look at what does account for your history, and you leave with that instead of the question.
