Autism Psychologist Sydney
At iflow Psychology in Gladesville, Sydney, our registered psychologists provide comprehensive autism assessments and therapy for adults. We help individuals better understand their strengths, communication styles, and emotional needs through compassionate, evidence-based support — available in-person and via telehealth across NSW.
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, behaviour, and how people experience the world. Each person’s presentation is unique — some may find social interaction challenging, while others experience sensory sensitivities or a strong preference for structure and routine.
There is no “cure” for autism, but with understanding and support, individuals can thrive personally, socially, and professionally.
Adult Autism Diagnosis and Assessment
Many adults seek assessment later in life to better understand lifelong patterns, relationships, or challenges at work.
At iflow Psychology, our autism assessments for adults typically include:
Clinical interview exploring developmental history and current functioning
Standardised psychological assessment tools (e.g. RAADS-R, AQ, PAI)
Cognitive and behavioural screening (if relevant)
Comprehensive report and feedback session with tailored recommendations
Assessments are available in person at our Gladesville clinic or via secure Telehealth across NSW.
Autism in Women and Late Diagnosis
Women and gender-diverse individuals are often underdiagnosed. Many mask their difficulties by copying social behaviours or overcompensating in relationships and workplaces. Our psychologists provide a safe, validating environment to explore these experiences and support greater self-understanding.
Evidence-Based Therapy for Autism
Psychological therapy can help individuals on the spectrum:
Build emotional regulation and coping strategies
Improve communication and social understanding
Manage anxiety, burnout, and sensory overload
Enhance executive functioning (planning, organisation, flexibility)
Therapies may include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Mindfulness and grounding techniques
Skills-based coaching and psychoeducation
