Have you been on long waiting lists for autism assessment appointments?
Have the assessment fees been preventing you from getting a diagnosis of autism?
I specialize in guiding adults through an informed adult autism assessment test.
​
A guided autism spectrum test for adults allows an economical and efficient route to answer your questions about autism.
​
I also provide mentoring to autistic adults, young adults, and adolescents. I help them become their best selves and lead happy and fulfilling lives.
I understand how it hurts to have undiagnosed autism.
​
It affects your mental and emotional health.
​
It poses extreme personal and social challenges, too.
​
But let me tell you something very important...
​
When someone self-identifies as having autism, they:
​
-
begin to map the terrain of their struggles.
-
unlock the door to a treasure chest of valuable thoughts and feelings
​
Self-Identified Autism heals years of pain and trauma.
​
A person can understand that their autism leads their mind to work in different and unique ways.
​
These individuals can heal from past experiences and social interactions.
​
But you might be thinking...
​
How do I know this?
​
Well, I'm Lara Schaeffer: a Certified Autism Specialist and the founder of Autism Discovery...
​
Not only that, I am also autistic, but this fact was not revealed until my forties.
​
My autism identification has transformed my life.
​
Since then, I have been trained and certified many times in the last four years.
​
I specialized intently on what is necessary so that I could help others to self-identify autism.
​
Here’s how I guide others to recognize autism in themselves in 3 easy steps:
​
-
I use the best of well-established evaluative processes
-
I educate individuals about exactly what autism is and how widely its traits can vary in different people
-
I help individuals recognize qualities, traits, and patterns in themselves that may align with autism
​
Then, I help those who face uncertain territory after an adult autism identification or diagnosis.
​
I am also proud to use the foundation and guiding principles of the PEERS program (out of U.C.L.A.) to support autistic adolescents and young adults.
​
Why my methods of using PEERS social skills reinforcement are the best:
​​
-
I use the founding principles to help young adults improve their social skills.
-
I customize the program for each client to achieve personalized results.
-
I empower young autistic individuals to live fulfilling lives with less stress.
-
I provide them with the support they need to achieve their goals.
​
My purpose is to lend a listening ear, offer guidance, and share my experience with others to lessen the pain and shame that get attached to autism.
​
I am here to help you in any way that I can.
