ADHD and Autism Evaluations Grounded in Cultural Identity
For too long, ADHD and autism have been defined by a narrow picture — usually a young white boy — leaving Black adults, women, and high-masking folks to be missed entirely or labeled with everything but the truth. My work sits at the intersection of neurodiversity and cultural identity, because your neurotype can't be separated from your culture, your race, or your lived experience.
Why cultural responsiveness matters in an evaluation
How ADHD and autism show up — and how they've been interpreted by others — is shaped by culture and context. Behaviors that get one person a diagnosis get another person disciplined, dismissed, or misdiagnosed. An evaluation that doesn't account for that risks getting the wrong answer. Mine is built to get to the root and give you an accurate one.
What you walk away with
An accurate diagnosis, a clear understanding of how your mind works, and a roadmap that fits your life — in a space where you're seen and understood, not pathologized.
Frequently asked questions

Because presentation and interpretation are shaped by culture. A culturally responsive evaluation reduces the risk of the misdiagnosis that so many Black and POC adults have already experienced.
-
Yes — many of the adults I evaluate are Black women whose neurodivergence was missed or mislabeled for years.
