about adult autism assessment (online)
Brilliant Minds Psychology provides a personalised evaluation for adults (18 and older) exploring neurodiversity (Autism). Our Adult Autistic Neurotype Assessment includes a 3 hour interview (utilising MIGDAS 2), online surveys, and a comprehensive report containing feedback and suggestions. Our goal is to provide accessible and effective support for individuals seeking an autism assessment from the comfort of their own homes. With the ASD Telehealth option, we aim to break down barriers to accessing quality care and empower individuals on the autism spectrum to thrive.
Our Telehealth ASD Assessment combines clinical intake and a conversational interview based on the MIGDAS-2. Utilising a neuroaffirming diagnostic interview (MIGDAS-2), we delve into sensory, language, and social functioning to gain insights. Additionally, our assessment includes various questionnaires, including self-report and informant versions, to assess social and communicative development, adaptive skills, and autistic masking tendencies.

The assessment breakdown/how it works
We aim to make the assessment process comfortable, respectful, and informative.
3 hour autism assessment
- Your assessment session will include an intake assessment session with your psychologist to gain background historical information and ongoing current concerns. Your reasons for assessment will be covered along with your main current presenting concerns. This intake will ask you questions about your early developmental history, birth, developmental milestones, social and emotional development, mental health history, educational and work history will be covered. At Brilliant Minds Psychology we use the Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum (MIGDAS-2). The MIGDAS-2 is a sensory-based approach to diagnosing autism and is a neuroaffirming autism diagnostic tool. It is recommended that you attend the the second hour of the interview with a family member or partner that knows you well. Following this interview your psychologist may choose to send additional questionnaires if needed. Optional: If you prefer for this assessment to be broken up into a 1 hour block followed by a 2 hour block please let us know after you have booked online by emailing us at info@brilliantmindspsychology.com.au along with your booking date, time and stating your preference.
