We still have appointments available for 2026 for adult autism assessments and dual-practitioner autism assessments for children.

An autism assessment comes with enough forms and mysterious acronyms already. The right support can make it all feel much more manageable. Our assessments are warm, thorough and neuroaffirming, with a focus on understanding each person’s experiences, strengths and support needs. ❤️

To learn more about the assessment process, fees or available appointments, contact us - link in bio.

If only teenagers came with warning lights... or at least subtitles. That would make it waaaayyyyy easier to know what's actually going on. 🤦‍♀️

When it comes to substance use, not every teenager is using for the same reason. Some are experimenting out of curiosity or peer pressure. Others are trying to numb emotions that feel too big to carry on their own. Understanding the why behind the behaviour is often the first step towards helping them.

Tap and scroll 👇 down to learn the difference between experimenting and self-medicating, and what signs to look out for.
