Neuroaffirming assessments
If your high sensitivity is getting in the way of your happiness, maybe there is something deeper to explore. A neuroaffirming evaluation screens for potential differences in your nervous system like Autism or ADHD.
With the rise of information around the autism spectrum, more people than ever are curious about their own neurotype. Many places that screen for Autism are only giving you a small slice of the big picture. When screening for autism, they use very narrow evaluation criteria and simply ask yes or no. This doesn’t leave room for any more information.
My training in neuroaffirming evaluation is complex and invites us to look at a bigger picture together. When evaluating, I will be looking at both Autism and ADHD, as well as language, communication, social pragmatics, emotional responsiveness, sensory sensitivities, and more. Of course, I will take your trauma history into account and consider what masking strategies you may have amassed throughout your life.
