Adult Autism Assessment

The What?

Adult Autism Assessments

The Why?

I understand first-hand the feeling of knowing something deeply different about myself, and the satisfying joy of receiving the diagnosis that made everything finally make sense. I launched “Enter the Spectrum” to provide Autism evaluations for adults and connect Autistic adults with online resources.

For decades the idea that autism is by and large a condition that affects boys has been pervasive in academia, in medicine, in textbooks. I remember studying for a class and reading autism is 5x more likely in boys. Blue was even the color of the "light it up blue" campaign by the infamous autism speaks for autism awareness because its associated with boys. On a whole women are largely under-identified. An article from Psychology Today describes some reasons why.

Autism is often overlooked in women, and Autism is often misunderstood in general. Enter the Spectrum exists is to empower autistic women by giving access to diagnosis and documentation in order to better accommodate and advocate for themself. However, my larger goal is to inspire women whether seeking a formal diagnosis or self-diagnosis (which is completely valid) to embrace their own neurodivergence.

SpecialEdge Parent Coaching

The What?

Parent Coaching around Special Education

The Why?

For many autistic parents the first time they recognize autistic traits up-close is seeing first hand the habits, routines, reactions of their daughter/son. Many undiagnosed Autism/ADHD adults did not recognize and explore their own neurodivergence until their children were diagnosed. Then as they navigate strategies and tools to support/empower their children, these parents are for the first time introduced to the special education world they never had access to-- IEPs, 504s, accommodations, modifications.

If you are a parent who
