Autism Spectrum Disorder & ADHD Assessments and Tests in NZ
Autism Test
for Adults in NZ
At MindBody Connect, neurodivergence, like
Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is understood and celebrated. With over 15 years of experience working in a neuro-affirming way, I am a Neuropsychologist specialising in neurodivergence, guiding individuals towards clarity and understanding.
I am mindful of sensitive nervous systems and sensory systems (I am sensitive too!), and the space I work from is co-regulating, calm, not cold and clinical, and has beautiful views of nature.
The adult Autism assessment includes 3 sessions:
1. Online history-taking session, ideally including collateral from childhood too (+-2 hours)
2. In-person assessment with globally-recognised, gold standard autism diagnostic assessment tools. We take as much time for the session as needed - there is no rush or pressure. My intention is to give you the space to feel heard and seen. Questionnaires may be emailed.
3. Online feedback and recommendations (+-30-60 minutes)
The comprehensive diagnostic report (typically >10 pages) is emailed, and if a diagnosis is made, the report can be used to access funding and accommodations.
The total cost for all sessions and the neuropsychological report is $2400.
**Currently taking referrals, including self-referrals.
Children's
Autism Test
My autism radar is strong! I provides children's diagnostic assessments for Autism (from 31 months old) in a beautiful, calming, non-clinical space. My approach is gentle and I meet the child where they are at.
The assessment includes 3 sessions:
1. Online history-taking session with the caregivers/parents
2. In-person assessment with the child using globally-recognised, gold standard autism diagnostic assessment tools (it sounds fancy - but for the younger ones, we mostly play! And for the older ones, we do some fun activities and also have a good chat). Questionnaires may be emailed.
3. Online feedback and recommendations (+-30-60 minutes)
The comprehensive diagnostic report (typically >10 pages) is emailed, and if a diagnosis is made, the report can be used to access funding and accommodations.
The total cost for all sessions and the neuropsychological report is $2400.
**Currently taking referrals, including self-referrals.
ADHD Assessment & Tests
I provide ADHD diagnostic assessments and tests for children from the age of 8-years-old and onwards. I also provide ADHD assessments and tests for teenagers and adults. My approach is gentle and affirming, and I welcome breaks to move, stretch, and have a snack!
