People often seek an evaluation when they notice ongoing challenges with social communication, sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, difficulty with change, or intense focus on specific interests. Some individuals also experience burnout, anxiety, or feel misunderstood. If these experiences are affecting daily life, relationships, school, or work, an evaluation can provide clarity and support. There is no downside to being assessed — it can help you access accommodations, resources, and coping strategies that make life easier.
