Adult Autism Assessments for Late-Identified & Masked Adults

Clear, affirming assessments for adults who have always felt different-but never fully understood why.

Jessica Waterman, LCSW

Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS)

I specialize in Adult Autism assessments for individuals who may have been overlooked or misdiagnosed, especially women, high masking individuals and those who have spent years trying to figure themselves out.My approach is collaborative, respectful, neuro-affirming, and grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience awareness. I focus on helping you understand your brain - not pathologizing who you are.

Who I Help

Adults questioning if they may be autistic, late diagnosed or self identified individuals seeking clarity, women and AFAB individuals who were missed in childhood. People with prior diagnosis such as ADHD, Anxiety, Trauma, that don't fully explain their experience. High masking and low support needs individuals who feel exhausted behind the scenes.
