Comprehensive ADHD and autism assessments in English — designed with the expat experience in mind
ADHD & ASD Testing for Expats and Internationals
Living abroad has a way of putting extra strain on attention, focus, and daily routines — new systems, new languages, new expectations, often without the familiar support network you’d have at home. For some, this is when long-standing ADHD symptoms that were previously manageable start to feel impossible to ignore.
We provide comprehensive evaluations and personalised support for clients who want to better understand and manage their symptoms, and access the resources they need to thrive — wherever in the world that may be.
ADHD symptoms can be challenging and overwhelming. Difficulties with focus, impulsivity, or hyperactivity can affect your ability to complete tasks, maintain relationships, and function effectively in daily life. An accurate assessment matters — ADHD is frequently misdiagnosed or missed altogether, especially in adults, and especially in women. A proper diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment and meaningful change.
At our testing centre, we provide ADHD and ASD assessments in multiple languages, with English as the main language of communication. Since 2009, our team has worked with expats and internationals from every kind of background — we understand that culture, language, and life history all shape how symptoms show up, and our evaluations reflect that.
Understanding masking, late diagnosis, and what an adult autism assessment involves
Testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Adults
An autism evaluation for adults typically involves several appointments with a qualified psychologist or neuropsychologist. During the assessment, you may complete a series of cognitive and activity-based tasks, as well as standardised questionnaires designed to evaluate traits associated with autism.
Many autistic adults learn to suppress or hide their autism-related behaviours in order to fit in or meet social expectations — known as masking or camouflaging. This might involve forcing eye contact, imitating social behaviours, or tolerating sensory discomfort in loud or crowded environments. While masking can help someone navigate social situations, it can also lead to significant stress, anxiety, and burnout over time — something that can be amplified when you’re also navigating an unfamiliar culture and language.
Some adults reach later stages of life without realising they are autistic, only recognising the signs after learning more about ASD. If you suspect that you — or someone you know — may be on the spectrum, learning about the common signs of autism is an important first step toward understanding and support.
