Need Help Finding Assessment Near Me (USA, IN)

Post Reply New Topic

Hello; I’ve done research on autism before for the sake of characters I’m writing, but I never really related until I looked into symptoms shown in those AFAB/female. Now, I’m really confused and feel I may more than likely be undiagnosed.

I’ve gotten above-average scores on just about every test I’ve taken, but I want to be absolutely sure, as I don’t feel entirely comfortable self-diagnosing this.

I’m located in Indiana and unable to drive (no license). I’m also unemployed, so I really need a referral to an assessor who either has a lower fee price and/or works with Medicaid.

(If it helps, I am 19, so it would need to be an assessment for an adult)

Thank you very much!

I hope the online tests you tried include:
>- Autism-Spectrum Quotient Test (AQ)
>- Aspie-Quiz ^{Registering is optional!}
It was my score on the first one that convinced me that getting an Adult Autism Assessment made sense.

You might find the National Register of Health Service Psychologists' "Find a Psychologist" web page useful. However, when I was looking for a psychologist to assess me I didn't see any in my area whose web page listed Adult Autism Assessments as a service they provided. I believe there must not be many adults getting assessments so they don't waste space on their web page mentioning it. What I looked for was nearby psychologists who worked with Autism and with adults. Then a phone call to the practice to find out if they would do an assessment (and even the person answering the phone didn't know if they did that kind of assessment...they had to check!).

I'm unsure how Medicaid affects things, though. Definitely call them to ask and follow their processes and keep good records.

And, good luck!
