Autism assessment that explains a lifetime of experiences.
Understanding first. Then the right support.
Psychological assessment for autism in adults and adolescents aged 12 and over, available at the Blacktown office or by secure telehealth. Assessment involves a structured clinical interview, detailed developmental history, behavioural observation and collateral information. You receive a comprehensive written report with diagnostic formulation, a strengths-based profile and practical recommendations for support.
Andrew will contact suitable new enquiries directly. For ages 12+. Assessment at the Blacktown office or by secure telehealth.
The report can be used for
- NDIS access requests and plan reassessments
- Workplace accommodation requests
- Educational support and adjustments
- GP and psychiatrist referral management
- Personal understanding and self-advocacy
- Re-assessment where updated documentation is needed
Please note: we do not provide medico-legal assessments or reports for court, insurance disputes, or other legal proceedings. Reports are prepared for clinical, educational, workplace, and NDIS purposes only.

Before you enquire
Many adults, particularly women and high-masking adults, reach adulthood without assessment. An assessment can clarify longstanding experiences and, where criteria are met, provide a diagnosis and evidence that may support requests for workplace, study or NDIS adjustments. Decisions about access and supports rest with the relevant organisations.
A structured clinical interview, a detailed developmental history, behavioural observation, validated questionnaires, and where possible collateral information from someone who has known you a long time.
Typically 2 to 3 clinical sessions plus questionnaires completed beforehand. The written report is generally ready within 2 to 4 weeks after the assessment is complete and required information has been received.
No. Wiser Minds does not provide medico-legal assessments or reports for court, insurance disputes, or other legal proceedings. Assessment reports are prepared for clinical, educational, workplace, and NDIS purposes.
Yes. They frequently co-occur and the assessments share components, so a combined assessment is often the most efficient and informative option. We can discuss this when you enquire.
No. The report documents what the assessment found, including a diagnosis where criteria are met and how autism affects day-to-day functioning. Decisions about access, funding and adjustments rest with the relevant organisations. The report remains transparent about its evidence and limitations.
After hours (weekdays from 5pm) and Saturday appointments are available for private and Medicare therapy at the Blacktown office or by telehealth, with a higher gap fee than standard hours. If you need an assessment appointment outside standard weekday hours, mention it when you enquire and Andrew will let you know what is possible.
