An autism assessment may provide support with:
  • Support a better understanding of strengths and support needs

Your Questions Answered

No, you can book directly with FORME Psychology without a referral. Some clients, however, choose to obtain a referral from their GP to access Medicare rebates where eligible.
Yes, absolutely. Many people access therapy while they're exploring neurodivergence or managing challenges that may be associated with ADHD or autism. You don't need a formal diagnosis to access support.
Yes, many clients continue on with therapy after completing an ADHD or autism assessment, which allows us to provide ongoing support and practical strategies suited to their individual needs.
Therapy and assessments each serve a different purpose. Therapy focuses on ongoing support, emotional well-being, and practical strategies, whereas assessments are designed to explore whether conditions such as ADHD or autism may be contributing to your experiences. If you're unsure which service suits you, we're happy to talk through your options.
In some cases, it may be appropriate to assess for both ADHD and autism, particularly where there are overlapping traits or questions about both conditions. This can be discussed at your initial consultation.
