Many adults seek evaluations later in life after years of unanswered questions. Adult diagnosis is valid and meaningful.<\/span>\n<h3>Do you use the ADOS-2 for adult autism evaluations?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes. We use the ADOS-2 as part of a comprehensive assessment when clinically appropriate, alongside interviews and other measures.<\/span>\n<h3>Do you accept HUSKY and Medicaid for autism evaluations?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes. We accept HUSKY, Medicaid, and also offer self-pay options.<\/span>\n<h3>Is an autism evaluation only for people who are struggling?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">No. Many adults seeking evaluation are high-functioning and successful but want clarity, self-understanding, or support recommendations.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element
