Post Autism Assessment Interventions
It can be helpful to access psychological therapy following an assessment of neurodiversity to process your diagnosis and help work on areas of difficulty identified in the assessment process such as anxiety, perfectionism, emotion, dysregulation, low self-esteem, etc
