You've spent years feeling like you're wired differently. Exhausted by social interactions others find effortless. Overwhelmed by sounds and textures that don't seem to bother anyone else. Watching your attention scatter despite genuine effort. You've wondered if autism or ADHD might explain it all, but the full assessment process feels like another mountain to climb.
Start here instead. For many people—especially women and those managing chronic illness—neurodivergence has been misread for decades. Dismissed as anxiety, perfectionism, or oversensitivity. When your nervous system operates differently and your body moves through the world with unique needs, you deserve language that makes sense of your experience.
Many people reach a point where the questions become too loud to ignore: Why do I need days to recover from social events? Why does my body shut down with certain textures or sounds? Why do strategies that work for others leave me more depleted?
A Neurotype Exploration Session creates space to examine these patterns through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. It's a focused 90-minute consultation—not a diagnostic assessment—designed to help you understand whether autism, ADHD, or AuDHD might explain lifelong experiences with attention, sensory processing, executive function, and social energy. And more importantly: what to do next.
This session is for people who've spent years wondering if they're neurodivergent but felt stuck between curiosity and formal diagnosis. You might be a highly masked presenter whose traits haven't matched clinical stereotypes. Perhaps chronic illness like dysautonomia, POTS, or hypermobility compounds your fatigue, sensory sensitivity, and attention patterns, and you're seeking a coherent picture that honours both your neurology and physiology.
Before we meet: You'll complete a brief screener (10–15 minutes) covering attention patterns, sensory experiences, social communication, and signs of masking or burnout.
During the 90-minute consultation (telehealth or in-person):
We'll map a guided timeline of developmental and adult milestones. Explore masking strategies—scripting conversations, camouflaging stims, perfectionism as survival. Discuss your sensory profile, interoception, and energy capacity. Identify where things routinely snag across work, study, and relationships. And gently introduce autism and ADHD frameworks without reducing you to deficits.
Afterwards: You'll receive a summary report outlining key themes and likely neurotype patterns (non-diagnostic), practical next steps—formal assessment options, workplace supports, self-advocacy scripts, resources—and therapy recommendations like ACT, CFT, somatic tools, or sensory supports.
Many people leave with a sense of relief—not because they've received a label, but because their experiences finally make sense. The exhaustion after socializing isn't moral weakness. The sensory overwhelm isn't overreacting. The executive function struggles aren't laziness. When you understand your neurotype, you can build supports that work with your nervous system instead of fighting it.
This session provides clarity and direction, but it isn't a formal diagnostic assessment. If you need an official diagnosis for NDIS access, workplace accommodations, medication, or academic support, we'll map out the assessment pathway during our conversation—so you know exactly what comes next and why.
Many describe the session as the first time someone held space for their full experience—the neurodivergent traits and the chronic illness, the masking strategies and the genuine strengths. Whether you proceed to formal assessment or use the insights to build immediate supports, you'll leave with language that fits and strategies that work.
