Adult Autism & ADHD assessments in Melbourne.
Maybe the question has been building for years — reading about Autism or ADHD and recognising yourself, wondering why things others find easy have always cost you more. Many people reach adulthood undiagnosed precisely because they don't fit the stereotypes.
Dr Gabrielle Klepfisz offers neurodiversity-affirming assessments for adults (18+) exploring whether they are neurodivergent. As a parent of a neurodivergent child, she understands the importance of a safe, supportive, collaborative space for these questions — the goal isn't just a label, but a deeper understanding of yourself.
Options & pricing.
Gabrielle recommends assessing for both Autism and ADHD together, given how often they co-occur — a combined presentation (often called AuDHD) can look quite different from either alone, which is one reason so many people stay undiagnosed until adulthood. Every assessment type comes in two forms: a comprehensive assessment with a detailed report (background, test results, diagnostic interview findings, formal diagnoses if applicable, and recommendations) plus a follow-up feedback session — or an assessment with a summary letter, without the feedback session.

If medication is your goal.
If you're seeking an ADHD assessment because you're interested in medication if diagnosed, we recommend seeing a psychiatrist instead — psychiatrists usually conduct their own assessment before prescribing, even where a psychological report exists, so going to them directly may save you time and money.
If medication isn't your goal — or you're unsure — a psychological assessment offers something different: genuine self-understanding, and a collaborative conversation about the strategies and accommodations that can support your wellbeing in the context of your neurodivergence.
The assessment process.
Intake & initial consultation
You'll complete an intake form, then meet Gabrielle for a 50-minute consultation covering your concerns, developmental history and psychological background. You're welcome to bring a support person.
Questionnaires & background
Self-report questionnaires, completed at your own pace. Input from someone who knew you as a child, someone who knows you now, or old school reports can add evidence — helpful, but not required.
Diagnostic assessment
A 2–3 hour session using gold-standard tools — the MIGDAS-2 and/or DIVA-5 — focused on Autism and/or ADHD.
Report & feedback
With the comprehensive option, a feedback session around 6–8 weeks later walks you through your report, results and recommendations. Summary letters are emailed, with no feedback session required.
Frequently asked questions.
Why assess Autism and ADHD together?
Because they very commonly co-occur, and a combined presentation (AuDHD) can look quite different from either alone — traits can mask or offset each other, which is one reason so many people reach adulthood without a diagnosis. Assessing both at once gives the fullest picture.
I don't have school reports or family who remember my childhood. Can I still be assessed?
Yes. Childhood information adds helpful evidence, but it is not required for the assessment to go ahead.
Can the assessment be done by telehealth?
Yes — assessments are available in person at St Kilda or via telehealth, whichever suits you.
Will the report get me NDIS access?
We can't guarantee that. Our reports are comprehensive and completed to a high standard, and can include NDIS-relevant recommendations — but the NDIS assesses eligibility on individual functioning levels among other factors, and we're unable to assist with the access request process. If NDIS access is your primary goal, alternative services may suit you better.
