Adult Autism and ADHD Assessment
The Undone Things Follow You Everywhere
The emails you haven’t answered are still sitting where they were last week, next to the unpaid bills, the piles of laundry, and the project you keep meaning to start.
By evening, the mental weight of everything incomplete feels physically heavy.
Your peers move ahead effortlessly while you struggle with basic life maintenance.
So you land on the explanation that costs you most: “I’m lazy, broken, or defective.”
Why You Doubt Whether Any of This Counts
Months of research brought you to your own hypothesis and to the fear that a clinician will call you dramatic, weak, or someone making excuses for normal human struggles.
Years of treatment for anxiety, depression, or a borderline personality diagnosis came and went without touching what was underneath.
You’re operating on a completely different system that nobody has measured yet.
You cannot fix a problem you haven’t fully defined.
Measure the Baseline Mechanics of Your Brain
As a Certified Autism Specialist, I’ve tailored traditional autism and ADHD assessments to catch the masking that standard measures miss, particularly in adult women.
The neurological mismatches underneath your burnout are what we’ll actually measure.
Gold-standard diagnostic frameworks map your sensory profile, executive functioning, focus patterns, and lived experience.
Throughout all of it, you’re the ultimate expert on your own mind.
Move Through Five Steps, Paced to Your Energy
- Free 15-minute consultation. Video or phone, plus texting and email when a call costs you too much.
- Questionnaires. A secure digital portal holds your documentation in one place, completed whenever you have the energy.
- Three to four assessment sessions. Online or in person, spaced to support your sensory needs.
- Feedback and planning session. We’ll walk through your data together and build recommendations for the areas of life you ask about.
- Your clinical report. The formal report arrives two to three weeks after our final session.
The Psychological Permission Slip You’ve Never Had
That last step is the one nobody prepares you for: objective data, validated clinical metrics, and a formal report signed by a licensed specialist.
External proof lets you request the accommodation without apologizing for needing it.
You dismantle the mask with certainty behind the decision.
A lifetime of perceived failures gets reread in a different light.
Design the Day Your Brain Actually Wants
Your home runs on soft lighting and controlled noise, with no unexpected sensory assaults waiting for you.
Your schedule follows the dopamine, built around deep-focus bursts and hyper-fixations instead of a rigid nine-to-five.
There’s room to move, speak, stim, and say what you feel without scripting the conversation in your head first.
Rest arrives without guilt.
Start with 15 Minutes
You’ve spent your entire life accommodating the world.
It’s time to build a world that finally accommodates you.
Email me at jwaterman@moonrisetherapyservices.com and book your free 15-minute consultation by video or phone. Fifteen minutes to talk through what you’re experiencing and confirm an assessment fits.
If writing is easier than talking, we’ll gather what I need by text or email instead. Then we’ll meet online or in person, whichever your energy prefers, and start defining the problem properly.
Step Out of Guessing and Into Knowing
Moonrise is named for the phases. The moon doesn't change shape as it moves through them. You finally get to see it whole.
Your story has been there the whole time, adapting and masking and getting yourself through a world that never quite made room for you. You are not broken, and you don't have to keep guessing by yourself.
When you're ready to step out of the exhaustion of guessing and into the clarity of knowing, I'll be right here. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no obligation, just a conversation with a therapist and evaluator who has lived the question you're asking. Call or text (518) 903-9671.
