Understanding ADHD and Autism Diagnostic Testing: What to Expect

Have you ever wondered if ADHD or Autism might be part of your story? You’re not alone — and getting diagnostic testing can be the first empowering step toward greater self-understanding and support.

At Sarah P Therapy in Orlando, we offer professional ADHD and Autism evaluations for teens and young adults seeking clarity, answers, and a path forward.

Why Seek Diagnostic Testing?

Many people live for years with undiagnosed ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), wondering why things feel harder for them than for others. Common signs that might prompt testing include:

  • Chronic struggles with focus, organization, or follow-through

  • Difficulty regulating emotions

  • Sensory sensitivities

  • Challenges in social situations

  • Feeling “different” but not knowing why

Accurate testing gives you more than just a label — it offers insight into how your brain works and what kinds of support, strategies, and tools can help you thrive.

What Happens During ADHD and Autism Testing?

At Sarah P Therapy, our evaluation process is designed to be clear, supportive, and stress-free. Here’s what you can typically expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: We meet to understand your concerns, background, and goals for seeking an evaluation.

  2. Comprehensive Testing: Using standardized tools and questionnaires, we assess key areas like attention, executive functioning, communication, social skills, and sensory processing.

  3. Feedback Session: After testing, we meet to review your results, discuss your strengths and challenges, and (if applicable) provide a formal diagnosis.

  4. Next Steps Planning: You’ll leave with actionable recommendations tailored to your needs — whether that’s therapy, academic accommodations, life coaching, or other supports.

Our goal is to make the process feel empowering, validating, and hopeful, not intimidating.
