Autism Evaluation Services
Clarity, understanding, and empowerment—without judgment.
At Holistic Resources Clinic, we specialize in autism evaluations that go beyond checklists and labels. Our goal is to help you (or your child) understand your unique cognitive and emotional profile—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Whether you’re a parent seeking answers or an adult exploring your neurodivergent identity, our autism evaluations are personalized, affirming, and clinically grounded.
What Is an Autism Evaluation?
An autism evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that explores social communication, sensory processing, behavioral patterns, and neurodevelopmental functioning. It helps determine whether someone meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and how those traits affect daily life.
We serve individuals across the lifespan—children, teens, and adults—and take care to evaluate how symptoms may be masked, especially in women and gender-diverse individuals.
What We Assess
Our autism evaluations explore areas such as:
Social skills and communication
Sensory sensitivities and preferences
Emotional regulation and behavioral responses
Repetitive patterns and special interests
Cognitive strengths and learning differences
Internal experiences like masking or burnout
Co-occurring concerns (e.g., ADHD, anxiety, trauma)
Every assessment is neurodiversity-affirming and tailored to the person—not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
What to Expect
Our process is supportive and respectful, with a focus on comfort and clarity. Your evaluation may include:
A comprehensive clinical interview
Autism-specific questionnaires and standardized tools
Observations (via telehealth)
Developmental history and sensory profiles
Self-report or caregiver report forms
Personalized feedback session
Full written diagnostic report
Dr. Stai’s evaluations are trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and clinically robust—designed to provide insights, not just answers.
