Adult Autism Evaluations in Ridgeland, MS
A thorough diagnostic evaluation, a clear explanation of your results, and ongoing support for the concerns that come with them.
Who this may be appropriate for
Many adults reach midlife without ever being assessed. People often seek an evaluation after recognizing long-standing differences in social communication, sensory experience, routine, or burnout at work. Reading about autism is not the same as having it — an evaluation exists to answer the question rather than assume the answer.
What the evaluation involves
- A thorough diagnostic evaluation.
- A clear explanation of your results, in plain language.
- Ongoing support for related concerns including anxiety, depression, attention, sleep, and burnout.
- Accommodation documentation when it is clinically supported.
Care after the evaluation
An evaluation is useful mainly for what comes next. Follow-up care may include psychiatric medication management for co-occurring conditions, or an ADHD evaluation when attention concerns are part of the picture. You can also read our article on adult autism.
Your provider and where we see you
Care is led by Stephen P. Sweeney, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, alongside the wider Turned Leaf Psychiatry team and our collaborating physicians in Mississippi and Tennessee. Visits are in person at our Ridgeland office.
