Autism Assessments for Adult Women

If you're an adult woman or AFAB person questioning whether you might be autistic, an assessment can offer clarity—and help you understand your life through a new, affirming lens.

As a late-diagnosed autistic woman and expert in female autism, I understand what it feels like to go through life without having the words to describe your experience. I offer assessments which acknowledge that many of us mask, internalise and present in ways that don't match with stereotypes and can be missed in assessments.

My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and centres your inner world which is often hidden from others but deeply valid. I'm the author of Women with Autism, a contributor to Psychology Today and Autism Spectrum News, and a trained ADOS-2 assessor, adapting the process for adult women.

For many of my clients, it’s not about a psychiatric diagnosis. It’s about self-understanding, validation, and making sense of a life that may have felt out of step. A non-clinical assessment can offer clarity, emotional relief, and practical support—whether in the workplace, education, or simply moving forward with more self-compassion.

I offer 2 services, to make the process towards self-understanding as easy as possible.

Client Experiences of their Autism Assessment

"I was so worried before the assessment but Claire totally put my mind at ease. She was warm and caring and listened very carefully. I can't thank her enough."

Mandy

"It was important to me to talk to someone who not only knew about women's autism, but who was autistic themselves. I felt totally understood from the first few moments of the session in a way that I can honestly say I never have been."

Jo

"I have been in and out of psychiatric services my whole life. Part of me really didn't want to do this but it was amazing. It was so in-depth and nothing like the psychiatric experiences I've had in the past!"

Adult Autism Assessment Process

As an autistic woman, therapist, researcher and ADOS-2 trained practitioner, I offer an in-depth, open session where we explore whether or not you are likely to be autistic. I draw on screening tests used in the clinical diagnostic procedure, apply an adapted ADOS-2 which is sensitive to women's needs, and follow DSM-5 guidance. Your session is never rushed and, having been through the process myself, I am sensitive to just how difficult it can be to attend an appointment of this nature.

​

I offer this assessment to clients throughout the world.

​

Included within your assessment:

Initial analysis of screening tests, including AQ-50, RAADS-R and CAT-Q

Analysis of parental form (if provided - many adults cannot or do not wish to submit a parental form, which is fine - it's your experience that matters)

2 hour live zoom assessment session

Written report

Follow-up zoom meeting and advice

Work or university separate report if required

The first stage in the assessment involves taking the tests on the website. Females and AFAB people, particularly, often achieve lower or more "borderline" scores in the tests. If you'd like to have a chat to discuss your result, either by phone or email, please get in touch with me. To hear about previous clients' experiences, click here.

Woman Searching Autism Diagnosis

Step 1: Autism screening tests

The screening tests will help you decide whether pursuing a diagnosis is helpful. Test results are analysed as part of your assessment. On their own, tests do not represent a diagnostic tool.

Dr. Claire Jack Women's Autism Expert

Step 2: Assessment Appointment

Your two-hour session with me carefully considers how adult women with autism present, including acknowledging camouflaging. It is respectful and supportive.

Autism Diagnosis Report

Step 3: Result & Report

You will receive a verbal opinion at the end of your session. You'll receive a written report within two weeks of your assessment. Your assessment includes a follow-up call with me.
