Autism Evaluation (Teens & Adults)
Autism Evaluation for Teens & Adults in Rockwall, Texas
Autism evaluations at Bridgewell Cognitive Health offer neurodivergent-affirming assessment for teens and adults seeking clarity about social communication patterns, sensory differences, masking, emotional regulation, and lifelong behavioral traits. Evaluations include diagnostic interviewing, developmental history, behavioral observations, standardized measures, and rating scales to differentiate Autism from ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or social difficulties.
The evaluation prioritizes understanding each individual’s lived experience, including masking, burnout, special interests, sensory sensitivities, and communication styles. Evaluations emphasize strengths as well as challenges and provide clear guidance for accommodations, self-understanding, and supportive interventions.
