We often hear from parents that they wonder whether they are neurodivergent themselves. Our team can work with you to understand your brain style, and to provide clarity and support around your own experiences and any areas of difficulty.
Whilst diagnostic criteria is the same for both children and adults, the assessment process can be somewhat different. When engaging in an assessment, you can expect to have an initial interview, followed by a comprehensive clinical interview to obtain information related to the areas that are often challenging for an autistic individual.
You will have opportunities to discuss your lived experiences, and opportunities to obtain further information from loved ones or those who are known to you will be encouraged. Observational assessments are completed which provides further insight into your brain style and personal preferences.
Bloom Community® is a place for parents and carers to come together to share ideas and knowledge, to support and learn from each other, and to gain professional support in a safe and supportive environment. We do this through individual parenting support, parenting programs, informal support, and through our private facebook group, ‘Bloom Inner Circle’
