Adult Autism Testing
You’ve spent years figuring out how to fit in. Let’s understand what it takes to be you.
Explore autism, ADHD, and overlapping AuDHD patterns with Dr. Chad Calderon at Calderon Diagnostic Institute.
Virtual evaluations across California, Colorado, and North Dakota.
-
A clinical interview, developmental history, and standardized measures such as the SRS-2, CAT-Q, and AQ-10 screener. When appropriate, the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile helps clarify how sound, light, touch, and other sensory experiences affect daily life. We also explore social communication, hidden coping efforts, and possible ADHD overlap. No single score determines your diagnosis.
-
Wondering why social situations, sensory demands, or changes take so much energy? An evaluation can help explore whether autism, ADHD, overlapping AuDHD, or another explanation fits your experience.
-
Get clarity and documentation to support requests for workplace or college accommodations, guide more personalized care, and explain your needs with confidence. Understanding your patterns can help you advocate for support that fits your life.

Adult autism evaluation: $1,000.
Combined ADHD and autism evaluation (often called AuDHD): $1,500.

Feel like you’re constantly translating rules everyone else seems to know automatically?
You’re not broken. And you’re not alone in wondering why these things keep happening.
Many adults come to us after years of anxiety treatment, an ADHD diagnosis, or endless self-help — still feeling like something important is missing. They describe:
Wanting real connection but finding small talk and unspoken rules exhausting
Looking “fine” on the outside while the effort of managing eye contact, expressions, and social expectations leaves them depleted
Sensory input (noise, lights, clothing, chewing) that drains them in ways others don’t notice
Deep interests and a strong need for predictability that others sometimes misread
A nervous system that stays activated long after the day is over
These experiences aren’t exclusive to autism. That’s exactly why a careful evaluation matters.
At Calderon Diagnostic Institute, we help adults finally make sense of the patterns that have followed them for years — including possible autism, ADHD overlap, or both. You’ll leave with clear answers, practical recommendations, and the documentation many people need for accommodations.
If you’ve been carrying the question for a long time, you don’t have to keep guessing.

Sometimes you notice what happens, but not why.
You enjoyed seeing friends, yet feel wiped out afterward.
You suddenly need everyone to stop talking, even though nothing seems wrong.
A small change ruins your afternoon, or a simple task leaves you stuck.
You may not notice what has been building up until you’ve reached your limit.
These are the kinds of unexplained patterns an evaluation can help you understand…
The Experiences Almost No One Talks About
The cost of looking comfortable. You make eye contact, manage your expressions, and keep conversations going, even when it takes conscious effort. Afterward, you’re drained, irritable, or need everyone to leave you alone.
Conversations that won’t end in your head. You replay what happened, trying to understand someone’s tone, what they meant, or whether you said something wrong.
Unfairness you can’t just brush off. Double standards, broken rules, or people saying one thing and doing another can stay with you long after others move on.
Getting stuck, even when you care. One email takes an hour to get right. Other tasks pile up. Starting, switching, or stopping can feel harder than the task itself.
Sensory discomfort others don’t notice. A shirt seam, chewing sound, buzzing light, or food texture can demand so much attention that concentrating becomes difficult.
Feelings that take time to settle. Other people’s distress or conflict can overwhelm you. You may need silence and solitude before you can think clearly or reconnect.
Exhaustion that keeps coming back. You rest, try coping tools, and push yourself to return, but the demands of daily life leave you depleted again.
These experiences can have several explanations, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, or a combination. An evaluation helps connect the patterns across your life rather than treating each struggle as a separate problem.
