Adult Autism Assessments

We made it to episode 10! We've been asked to talk about how to prepare (emotionally) for an autism assessment and the results, so we're giving you our favorite tips. We also cover how to prepare yourself for potential second opinions and how to secure an affirming evaluator in the first place. If you've ever wondered if it's worth it to get diagnosed, this episode (and our Patreon bonus content) are for you!

On Upping the Ante, our free exclusive bonus content here on Patreon, we're going even deeper on WHY you were "missed" as a kid and what to do about it now. We also talk about whether or not you need a second opinion if your evaluator said it's "just the trauma" and not autism.
