Do you have a gut feeling that there’s more to your story than others realize? Maybe you’re 99% sure you’re autistic, but there’s still a small part of you that hesitates to fully embrace that identity. Or perhaps you’ve already identified as autistic but want professional confirmation for validation and peace of mind.
Are you masking your true self to avoid stigma, or do misunderstandings in your relationships with loved ones feel overwhelming? Living without knowing your neurotype can make navigating life much harder. If you’re searching for answers, understanding, and validation, PECNA offers a streamlined autism assessment to give you the clarity you deserve—quickly and professionally.
If you don’t want to wait months for a evaluation or deal with the complexities of traditional autism assessments, we’re here to help. Whether you’re confident you’re autistic or simply seeking more insight into your brain, we provide a solution.
Our professional autism assessments are designed to deliver results in a more accessible, straightforward manner.
Our abbreviated autism assessments consist of three appointments, each lasting around two hours. You’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation to answer any questions and explain the next steps. The entire process is virtual, allowing you to complete the evaluation from the comfort of your home, ensuring a stress-free and familiar environment.
We encourage you to share any online self-tests (such as the RAADS-R) or personal notes about traits you identify with. The assessment itself is designed to fit your schedule, with appointments once or twice a week based on your availability.
Abbreviated autism evaluations are perfect for individuals who are fairly certain they’re autistic and are seeking a quick, collaborative assessment process. These evaluations are shorter and more affordable than comprehensive assessments. They’re ideal for those who have already done research, may not require intensive support services, and want to focus on understanding their neurotype.
Our assessments are conducted by neurodiversity-affirming professionals experienced in identifying autism in high maskers, those socialized as girls, and individuals with intersecting marginalized identities. After the assessment, you’ll receive a letter confirming your diagnosis or a brief report summarizing the findings.

Our autism assessments typically take between four to five sessions, with each session lasting around two hours.

These supports could include educational accommodations, workplace adjustments, and even financial assistance. It’s essential to check your local policies to understand what benefits you might be eligible for based on your diagnosis.
If your assessment doesn’t result in an autism diagnosis, we’ll explore other possibilities that may be contributing to your experiences. We may recommend further testing or provide referrals to therapy or other services that can help address your concerns. Our goal is to help you gain clarity, whether or not the results show autism.
We encourage you to bring any notes, results from online self-assessments (like the RAADS-R), or personal insights you’ve gathered about traits you identify with. Additionally, input from family members or friends may be helpful, especially if they’ve observed behaviors you’d like to discuss.
