Adult neurodivergence
assessment services
Behavioural Edge Psychology offers comprehensive assessments for adults (18+) seeking to understand whether they may be autistic or have ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive, or combined presentation).
​
​When someone's neurocognitive functioning differs from dominant societal standards, they may be described as neurodivergent. Autism and ADHD are two common forms of neurodivergence.
​
Neurodivergent individuals often experience and interact with the world differently from neurotypical people (those whose neurocognitive functioning aligns with societal norms).
These differences may be reflected in areas such as:
-
Social interaction and communication styles
-
Sensory processing and perception
-
Executive functioning (including time management, organisation, and planning)
-
Attention, concentration, and memory
-
Information processing and sequencing
It is important to note that neurodivergence is not a deficit. It represents a different way of experiencing and navigating the world, with its own strengths and challenges.
​
Our role as psychologists is not to change who someone is, but to help them understand themselves more fully, reduce distress, and find ways to move through life that feel sustainable and authentic.
​
I offer accessible assessments for adults in collaboration with psychiatrists and GPs. Every assessment is neurodiversity-affirming and designed to provide both validation and direction: helping you see yourself more clearly, while also giving you and the people around you the language, evidence, and strategies needed to better support your wellbeing.
