The anxiety toolkit
Read with intentionUnderstand yourself on your own terms.
A thoughtful, strengths-based autism assessment can bring clarity, self-understanding and access to support — whether for you or your child. In Parramatta or online.
Autism looks different in everyone.
Many autistic people — especially adults and women — go years without answers, having learned to mask. You don't need to tick every box to seek clarity.
- Social situations feel effortful — you often rehearse or replay conversations.
- Bright lights, noise, textures or crowds can quickly become overwhelming.
- You have deep, focused interests and a strong preference for routine and predictability.
- You've felt "different" your whole life without quite knowing why.
- Change and unexpected events feel disproportionately stressful.
- Masking to fit in leaves you exhausted, and burnout comes easily.
- You read situations literally, and small talk or unwritten rules feel confusing.
- For your child: differences in play, communication, or intense interests.
A diagnosis isn't a label — it's a framework for understanding yourself and being understood. Whatever the outcome, you'll leave with genuine clarity and a strengths-based way forward.
A thorough, strengths-based assessment.
We don't reduce you to a checklist. An autism assessment at Mind Health explores your history, your sensory world and how you communicate and connect — then translates it into something genuinely useful.
Gold-standard tools
Structured, evidence-based autism assessment (such as ADOS-2 and ADI-R style interviews) for adults and children.
Sensory & social profile
How you experience sensory input, social communication and routine — the day-to-day realities, not just criteria.
Co-occurring picture
ADHD, anxiety and learning differences often travel together — we look at the whole picture, not one label in isolation.
A written report
A clear, practical report you own — with recommendations for work, study, NDIS, school and support.
Assessments are conducted by our clinical neuropsychologist and senior clinicians, through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Every assessment includes a feedback session where we walk you through the findings in plain language.
Your assessment, step by step.
Clear and structured from start to finish — you'll always know what's next.
Intake & history
We start with your story — developmental history, sensory experiences, social and communication style, and what prompted you to seek answers. Questionnaires go out ahead of time.
Testing sessions
Structured interviews and standardised tests, conducted over one or more sessions. It's engaging, not an exam — there are no trick questions.
Report & feedback
You receive a comprehensive written report and a feedback session that explains what it all means — and exactly what to do next.
Know your costs before you start.
Assessments are quoted in full and in writing before you commit. Some Medicare and NDIS rebates may apply depending on your situation — we'll talk you through it.

- NDIS, DVA, Workers Comp & CTP: usually no out-of-pocket cost when approved.
- Private health: claim through your extras cover, with no referral needed.
