Sound Familiar?

Whether it's something you've lived with for years or something you're starting to notice in your child, these are the patterns that bring most people to our door.

ADHD

Attention & Focus

In Adults
  • Chronic lateness that feels impossible to fix
  • A brain that hyperfocuses on some things and can't start others
  • Systems and planners that never quite stick

In Kids & Teens
  • Homework that doesn't get finished, even when they understand it
  • Big emotional reactions that seem to come out of nowhere
  • Constant movement, talking, or interrupting teachers keep flagging
Autism

Social & Sensory

In Adults
  • Exhaustion after socializing that feels physical, not just tired
  • Rehearsing conversations before you have them
  • Being told you're "too sensitive" or "too intense"

In Kids & Teens
  • Meltdowns or shutdowns, especially right after school
  • Deep, narrow interests other kids don't share
  • Sensitivity to textures, tags, noise, or certain foods
Learning

Reading, Writing & Math

In Adults
  • Words that seem to move or blur on the page
  • Numbers that never quite "stick," no matter how many times you're taught them
  • Needing far more time than others to read or process

In Kids & Teens
  • Reading well below grade level despite effort and tutoring
  • Math that takes far longer, or feels impossible, next to classmates
  • A gap between how smart they clearly are and how school is going

These are common patterns, not a diagnosis. Testing is what gives you the full, accurate picture.

Let’s Learn

Want to learn more about how ADHD and autism testing work at Grey Matter? We’ve got you covered.

Blog

Grey Matter Psychological Assessment is different.

At Grey Matter Psychological Assessment, we know that you want to understand your symptoms and finally live up to your potential. In order to live that life, you need clarity on whether you have ADHD, autism, or some other learning difference and what you can do to manage it. The problem is: not all psychological testing is created equally. You might find yourself waiting months for your results or getting bland and unhelpful feedback. This leaves you feeling confused and frustrated about your next steps. You should be able to understand your neurological and psychological processes.

You might get mixed up in the differences between anxiety, depression, ADHD, ADD, and trauma symptoms. It makes school, work and relationships feel out of control. Our collective of psychologists provides approachable, thoughtful, and thorough psychological testing.

What’s holding you back?

We provide comprehensive testing that gets to the bottom of your questions. You deserve to have answers, which actually reduces costs over the course of your life. Read our blog about reduced costs. For any of our services, we offer superbills, which can be submitted to your PPO insurance for reimbursement, and payment plans.

Testing is too expensive.

Testing and assessment do take a little bit of time and scheduling, and you can expect your results and/or feedback session about one month after testing. Need the results faster? Just let us know during your consultation call how to best accommodate you.

I need answers immediately. Can testing be done quickly?

If you’ve felt that no one has been able to help you, this assessment will finally answer those nagging questions about your psychological functioning. If it doesn’t, we’ll continue to search for answers with additional tests and assessments.

What if I’m too complicated?

How long does testing take?

Testing can be scheduled to adjust to your specific needs. It is possible to break up the testing sessions, get your feedback more quickly than normal, or arrange for other accommodations. Schedule a consultation to troubleshoot concerns.
