Understanding Yourself Better
Late Diagnosis, Life-Changing Understanding
More adults than ever are receiving autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses, often after decades of feeling “different” without understanding why. Many high-functioning autistic adults have developed sophisticated masking strategies to navigate a neurotypical world, often at great personal cost, experiencing burnout, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
If you’ve always felt like you don’t quite fit in, struggle with social cues and unwritten rules, experience sensory sensitivities, need strict routines, or have intense focused interests, an autism evaluation may provide the clarity and validation you’ve been seeking.
Comprehensive Adult Autism Assessment:
At Centia Health, I provide thorough autism evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools:
- Clinical interview exploring developmental history, social communication, sensory experiences, and repetitive behaviors/restricted interests.
- Standardized assessment tools including the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and other validated measures.
- Differential diagnosis to identify or rule out co-occurring conditions (ADHD, anxiety, OCD, social anxiety).
- Comprehensive report suitable for workplace accommodations, school services, or personal understanding
Why Pursue a Diagnosis in Adulthood?
An autism diagnosis can be transformative:
- Self-understanding and validation of lifelong experiences.
- Access to accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Better treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Community connection with other autistic adults.
- Improved relationships through understanding communication differences.
- Reduced self-blame and increased self-compassion
Support Beyond Diagnosis:
A diagnosis is just the beginning. At Centia Health, I provide ongoing support including:
Mental Health Treatment:
- Management of common co-occurring conditions (anxiety, depression, OCD).
- Support for autistic burnout and sensory overload.
- Social anxiety and social skills development.
- Coping strategies for overwhelm and meltdowns.
Life Skills and Adaptation:
- Understanding your sensory profile and developing accommodations.
- Communication strategies for workplace and relationships.
- Executive function support.
- Self-advocacy skills.
Collaborative Care:
- Coordination with occupational therapists specializing in autism.
- Connection to support groups and community resources.
- Family and partner education.
- Workplace accommodation guidance
Understanding Autism as Neurodiversity:
At Centia Health, I embrace the neurodiversity paradigm—recognizing autism as a different way of experiencing and processing the world, not a disease to be cured. My goal is to help you understand yourself better, access the support you need, and thrive as your authentic self.
Research in 2025 emphasizes that ideally, every autistic person of any age should have access to a range of supports, including mental health counseling, occupational therapy, and community services. You deserve comprehensive, affirming care.
Whether you’re seeking a diagnosis or already know you’re autistic, I’m here to provide expert guidance, practical support, and genuine understanding.
