Adult Autism ADHD & AuDHD Assessments in California

• You’ve always felt “different” or disconnected — but never had words for it
• You relate to descriptions of Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD but never saw yourself in the stereotypes
• You’ve been misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or a personality disorder — and something still feels missing
• You’ve struggled with burnout, masking, or sensory overload without understanding why
• You are a woman, BIPOC, or LGBTQIA+ adult who wonders if you were missed by systems not designed to see you
• You are a late-diagnosed adult seeking language, validation, and a foundation to build from
• You are ready to understand yourself more clearly — without judgment

You've done your best to make sense of why life feels harder than it seems it should. You mask your emotions to fit in. You feel exhausted by socializing, confused by unwritten rules, and deeply lonely — even around people.

And still, you wonder:

"Why do I experience the world so differently?"

"Is there a reason everything feels so hard?"

"Could I be autistic and never have known?"

You're not alone — and you're not imagining things.

You’re smart, capable, and full of ideas — but somehow, the basics still feel hard. You lose track of time. You forget the next step. You miss deadlines and blame yourself, again.

And inside, you wonder:

“What’s wrong with me?”

“Why can’t I just focus?”

“Why does life feel like an uphill climb?”

You are not lazy. You are not broken. You may be living with undiagnosed ADHD — and finally getting clear can be life-changing.

Understanding your ADHD is the beginning. If you choose to continue working together, I offer ongoing ADHD therapy to support integration, growth, and nervous system regulation.

Through weekly or biweekly sessions, we'll work on:

• Understanding — making sense of how ADHD affects your energy, relationships, and life patterns
• Skill-Building — executive function tools like time-blocking, priority setting, emotional regulation, and sensory pacing
• Emotional Healing — addressing the grief, shame, and burnout that often accompanies late-diagnosed ADHD
• Self-Compassion — learning to advocate for your needs without apology and celebrate your neurodivergent strengths

Hyperfocused one moment, scattered the next. Craving routine, but craving novelty too. Deeply empathetic, but easily overwhelmed by the emotions of others. Wanting connection — and needing to disappear.

If this sounds like your life, you might be living with AuDHD — a combination of Autism and ADHD that often goes unrecognized because the two conditions can mask and amplify each other in ways that leave even experienced clinicians confused.

You’re not contradictory. You’re not “a little bit of everything.” You’re a complex, layered human being who deserves a clinician who can hold that complexity without flattening it.

Combines Adult Autism ($1,500) + Adult ADHD ($900) assessments — integrated and discounted

Completed over a series of 50-minute telehealth sessions

1. Clinical Interview

We’ll explore your personal history, daily patterns, family experiences, and how you’ve learned to adapt — so I understand the full picture, not just a checklist.

2. Mental Status & Differential Diagnosis

We rule out medical conditions and consider overlapping diagnoses — such as trauma, anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities — to ensure a clear and accurate picture.

3. Standardized Psychological Testing

You’ll complete structured assessments tailored to your evaluation type, examining the specific areas most relevant to your presentation.

4. Neuropsychological Testing

We explore areas like memory, planning, emotional regulation, and task follow-through using validated tools that uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

5. Full History & Record Review

Medical and mental health records (if available) are reviewed to gain a holistic understanding of your needs.

6. Feedback Session

We review your results together — clearly, compassionately, and without clinical jargon. You’ll leave understanding what was found, what it means, and what comes next.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I’m Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, MA, LMFT #151788— a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training in Autism, ADHD, and Complex Trauma. I discovered my own neurodivergence at 57, and that realization shapes everything about how I approach this work. My assessments are relational, affirming, and paced for your nervous system — not a checklist and a handshake.

I help neurodivergent individuals and couples navigate their inner world, rediscover their authentic selves, and build relationships that feel safe, meaningful, and genuine.

You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's begin — together.
