(Alberta Only) Online ADOS Adult Autism Assessment

A comprehensive virtual assessment for adults seeking clarity, diagnosis, and support with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Many adults seek an autism assessment later in life—sometimes after years of feeling “different,” masking, or struggling with social communication, sensory overload, burnout, or relationship and workplace challenges. Getting a formal evaluation can provide clarity, self-understanding, and access to the right supports.

Our Online ADOS-2 Adult Autism Assessment is available exclusively to residents of Alberta and is conducted entirely online by trained clinicians who follow gold-standard assessment protocols.

We use evidence-based tools—including the ADOS-2 Module 4, structured clinical interviewing, developmental history, and functional assessment—to provide an accurate, respectful, and neurodiversity-affirming evaluation.
