For many neurodivergent individuals, receiving a diagnosis is just the beginning of the journey. As life circumstances evolve, so too can support needs and how one experiences their neurodivergence. That’s why Neuronexus Psychology offers comprehensive diagnostic and reassessment services designed to meet the unique and ever-changing needs of autistic and neurodivergent people.
Whether you're seeking a first-time autism diagnosis, looking for a reassessment to confirm or clarify an existing condition, or pursuing updated reports for support services such as the NDIS, Neuronexus Psychology is here to guide you with professionalism, empathy, and clinical expertise.

Why an Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Many people search online for terms like:
"Do I have autism as an adult?"
"How do I get an autism diagnosis in Australia?"
"Can I be reassessed for autism?"
These questions reflect a growing awareness that autism—and other neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD—can present differently at various stages of life. A diagnosis that once felt accurate may need revisiting as a person navigates new environments, develops coping mechanisms, or encounters new challenges.
At Neuronexus Psychology, our diagnostic and reassessment services ensure that each person’s neurodivergence is understood in context, with respect for how their needs may change over time.
What Are Complex Diagnostics and Reassessments?
Unlike basic screening tools or brief evaluations, complex diagnostics involve a thorough, in-depth process. This may include:
Comprehensive developmental and psychosocial history
Standardised diagnostic tools and behavioural observations
Input from family, educators, or allied health professionals (as appropriate)
Detailed reports suitable for NDIS, education, or workplace adjustments
For those who already have a diagnosis, reassessments help determine:
If the current diagnosis still reflects your lived experience
Whether other neurodivergent traits (such as ADHD or learning difficulties) may also be present
Which supports or interventions could now be more effective
Who Should Consider a Diagnostic Reassessment?
You might benefit from a reassessment if:
Your original autism or ADHD diagnosis was made in childhood and no longer seems relevant
You’re applying (or reapplying) for NDIS funding and require an updated diagnostic report
Your circumstances have changed significantly (e.g. transitioning to university, entering the workforce, or starting a family)
You suspect that an earlier diagnosis overlooked co-occurring conditions
You’re exploring factors such as trauma, gender identity, or mental health concerns alongside your neurodivergence
Many adults type into search engines: "autism reassessment Australia", "was I misdiagnosed?", or "do I need a new autism report?"—all valid and common questions.
A Neuroaffirming Approach to Assessment
At Neuronexus Psychology, we take a neuroaffirming, person-centred approach to all assessments. This means we prioritise:
Understanding your strengths, preferences, and coping strategies—not just challenges
Respect for identity-first language, if preferred by the individual
Clear, accessible feedback in plain English
A welcoming and non-judgemental environment throughout the process
Our psychologists are specially trained in working with autistic adults, adolescents, and children, as well as those with ADHD, sensory processing differences, or learning difficulties. Each assessment is tailored to truly reflect who you are.
How the Process Works
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a discussion to understand your goals, history, and reasons for seeking an assessment or reassessment.
Step 2: Diagnostic Evaluation
Using validated tools (such as the ADOS-2 or DIVA-5), we gather in-depth information about your social, cognitive, and emotional profile.
Step 3: Feedback Session
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report along with a one-on-one explanation of the findings and recommendations.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
We can assist with referrals, NDIS documentation, workplace adjustments, or therapy options aligned with your needs.
