Om avsnittet
Wondering what actually happens in an autism assessment? In this episode, I'm walking through exactly what the process looks like with me, from the first consult call to the final report.
I use an interview-based approach instead of leading with observation, because for high-masking clients, observation alone tends to miss what's actually going on underneath.
In this episode:
- Why I don't lead with observation-based tools like the ADOS for high-masking clients
- What happens before the interview: the consult call and the self-report measures
- What the 90-minute interview actually covers, area by area
- What to expect emotionally during the interview
- What happens after: the follow-up session, your diagnosis, and your report
