You should know what you are paying for, what the evaluator needs from you, and what happens after the last appointment. These questions can help you compare autism, ADHD, and AuDHD evaluation options without expecting yourself to already understand the process.
Ask how the evaluator considers patterns that may be less visible in a structured appointment. That can include learned scripts, exhaustion after social interaction, sensory needs, and the difference between appearing capable and being able to sustain the demand.
Ask whether the quoted price includes interviews, record review, testing, scoring, a feedback appointment, and a written report. Find out what could create an additional fee before you commit.
Some evaluations use developmental history from a parent, relative, school record, or another source. Ask what happens if that person or documentation is unavailable, unsafe to involve, or unlikely to provide accurate information.
Ask what the report contains, when you will receive it, and whether it includes recommendations that can be used in daily life. A diagnosis and a practical plan are not always the same deliverable.
Ask how long each appointment is, whether visits are virtual or in person, and how much time usually passes between the first appointment, feedback, and final report.
Ask who will explain the results, what support is available if the report is confusing, and whether the evaluator helps with referrals, accommodations, treatment questions, or next-step planning.
LYSYN provides functional, immigration, and other biopsychosocial evaluations when a defined question requires assessment, documentation, recommendations, or a written report. Comprehensive neuropsychological testing and some diagnostic questions may require another provider.
The free 15-minute phone fit call is a short conversation about what you are looking for, whether the request is within LYSYN's scope, and what the next step may be. It is not an evaluation or clinical consultation.
