AuDHD Evaluation in Washington DC
Comprehensive integrated evaluation and a personalized care plan for AuDHD adults in DC
Designed to give you the diagnostic clarity you've been looking for and a clear path forward with your local prescriber.
AuDHD evaluation is rare nationwide and especially hard to find in DC. Most local providers evaluate ADHD or autism in isolation, miss the second neurotype, and produce care plans that don't account for both at once. Federal-system providers are often overbooked.
Specialty integrated evaluation usually means waitlists or out-of-network costs without the depth.Neurokin offers a different approach for adults in DC: a thorough, three-visit AuDHD evaluation that assesses both autism and ADHD at the same time, plus a detailed integrated written care plan that your local PCP or psychiatrist can use to manage your treatment going forward.
In Washington DC, we're licensed for evaluation and care planning. Prescribing happens through your local provider — most patients coordinate easily with their existing PCP or psychiatrist using our care plan as the clinical guide. Same evaluation depth as our NJ/NY service, same price ($2,500), different prescribing pathway.
Adult AuDHD Evaluation in DC, Designed for Adults Who Don't Fit Either Label Alone
Neurokin works with AuDHD adults in DC who are looking for evaluation that takes both neurotypes seriously. You might be a good fit if you're:
A DC professional in cyclical burnout. Federal employee, attorney, policy professional, healthcare worker, or anyone navigating demanding masking-heavy work environments where deep burnout follows every successful project cycle.
An adult identified with one but suspecting both. ADHD diagnosis years ago that helped some things but never fully explained your social fatigue and sensory experiences — or autism identification that didn't account for executive function struggles.
A late-identified adult with complex presentation. Especially women, AFAB individuals, and high-masking adults whose AuDHD has been missed by single-neurotype evaluations.
An adult with multiple prior diagnoses. Anxiety, depression, OCD, BPD that didn't fully resolve with treatment — sometimes because AuDHD better explains the underlying pattern.
An adult who wants integrated evaluation without leaving DC. Telehealth-based evaluation that doesn't require travel or fitting into a fragmented local system.
Many DC patients come to us after navigating the local healthcare system without finding integrated AuDHD evaluation. We work with patients across DC, including those who travel into the city for work and need flexible telehealth scheduling.
Integrated AuDHD Evaluation, by Telehealth, in Washington DC
AuDHD evaluation at Neurokin is collaborative, integrated, and grounded in your lived experience. The evaluation process and clinical depth are identical to what we offer in NJ and NY — same three visits, same five hours of clinical time, same comprehensive assessment of both neurotypes.
What's different in DC is the prescribing pathway: instead of Karina managing medications directly, your local prescriber takes that role using our care plan as the clinical guide.
Our DC AuDHD evaluations include:
Comprehensive clinical interviews and integrated developmental history (about 5 hours total clinical time)
ADHD-specific assessment tools (ASRS-v1.1, Conners' Adult Rating Scales, QbCheck when relevant)
Autism-specific assessment tools (RAADS-R, AQ-50, CAT-Q for masking)
Cognitive testing with Creyos when appropriate
In-depth exploration of the AuDHD interaction patterns
Co-occurring conditions assessment
How the Care Plan Works with Your Local Prescriber
The care plan you receive at Visit 3 is designed specifically for your local prescriber to use as a clinical guide.
What the integrated care plan includes:
Diagnostic conclusions for both neurotypes (autism, ADHD, and the AuDHD-specific interaction patterns)
Specific medication recommendations for ADHD components and any co-occurring conditions, including dosing considerations and monitoring guidance
Sensory strategies and accommodations relevant to your specific AuDHD profile
Executive function tools designed for an AuDHD brain (not just ADHD or just autism approaches)
Notes on how the two neurotypes might affect each other in treatment (where stimulants might amplify sensory sensitivity, where rigid routines might exacerbate ADHD-related shutdown)
Follow-up cadence recommendations
How most DC patients coordinate this:
Most patients bring the care plan to their existing PCP, psychiatrist, or therapist. The care plan is detailed enough that most local prescribers can pick up directly from it without needing additional consultation.
If your local prescriber wants to talk to Karina directly with questions about how to interpret the AuDHD findings, our office facilitates that. If you don't have a current local prescriber, we can suggest what to look for when finding one.
Care plan updates over time:
If your care plan needs updating later (new circumstances, medication changes, or refinement based on what's working), you can return for a follow-up visit ($175) — telehealth — to revise the plan with Karina before bringing it back to your local prescriber. Most patients do this once or twice a year.
The Neurokin Advantage for AuDHD Evaluation in DC
Identity-affirming, integrated care
We approach AuDHD as a complex form of neurodiversity. Both neurotypes matter. Strengths matter as much as challenges.
Specialty depth that local DC providers often can't offer
Most DC providers don't specialize in AuDHD specifically. We do.

Validated assessment tools for both neurotypes
Coordination support with your local prescriber
Our office can communicate directly with your local provider if questions come up about how to apply the AuDHD findings.
Telehealth designed for AuDHD
Video evaluation is often easier for AuDHD adults than in-person clinical settings — no sensory overload from medical office environments, no travel-related executive function tax.
Discreet, professional environment

Serving AuDHD Adults Throughout Washington DC
Neurokin provides AuDHD evaluation and care plan support for adults throughout Washington DC via telehealth — including all neighborhoods within the District.
Our DC patients include federal employees, attorneys, policy professionals, healthcare workers, and other professionals navigating the demanding masking environments common in the city. AuDHD shows up disproportionately in these populations, and integrated evaluation often makes sense of patterns that single-neurotype assessment misses.
If you live in DC but work cross-jurisdictionally (Maryland, Virginia), we can usually still serve you — DC residency is what matters for licensure. If you're in Maryland or Virginia and considering DC-based services, contact us to discuss options.

Your Questions About AuDHD Evaluation in Washington DC, Answered
How do I get an AuDHD evaluation in DC?
Schedule an appointment through our online booking system or call us. The evaluation is three visits over three to four weeks, all by telehealth. Visit 1 (~120 min) is the extended initial consultation. Visit 2 (~120 min) is combined ADHD and autism testing. Visit 3 (~60 min) is the integrated diagnosis and care plan review.
Why don't you prescribe in DC?
Karina is licensed in DC for evaluation and care planning, but isn't DEA-licensed in DC for controlled substance prescribing. ADHD medications (stimulants) are controlled substances and require state-specific DEA licensure. We're DEA-licensed in NJ and NY, where we provide full prescribing care; in DC, your local prescriber handles medication management using our care plan.
Is the evaluation different from what you offer in NJ or NY?
Same evaluation. Same three visits. Same five hours of clinical time. Same comprehensive assessment tools. Same integrated diagnostic depth. Same price ($2,500). The only difference is who manages your medications afterward — Karina (in NJ/NY) or your local prescriber (in DC).
How does coordination with my local prescriber work?
Most patients bring the integrated care plan to their existing PCP, psychiatrist, or therapist. The care plan includes specific medication recommendations, dosing considerations, and monitoring guidance. Most local prescribers can manage AuDHD medications directly from the plan. If your prescriber wants to talk to Karina with questions, our office facilitates that.
What if I don't have a local prescriber yet?
We can suggest what to look for in a local prescriber for AuDHD care. Generally: a PCP comfortable with stimulant prescribing, a psychiatrist with adult ADHD experience, or a psychiatric NP who works with neurodivergent patients. If you have specific local options you're considering, we can offer perspective on which might be a good fit.
Is the price the same as what you charge in NJ or NY?
Yes. $2,500 total for AuDHD evaluation, paid as $900 + $800 + $800 across three visits. Same evaluation work, same price, regardless of state. The clinical product is identical.
How long does AuDHD evaluation take?
Three visits over three to four weeks. About 5 hours of clinical time total — longer than ADHD-only or autism-only because both neurotypes need their own depth of assessment.
What's included in the integrated care plan?
Diagnostic conclusions for both autism and ADHD, AuDHD-specific interaction patterns, specific medication recommendations and dosing considerations, sensory strategies, executive function tools designed for an AuDHD brain, monitoring guidance, and follow-up cadence recommendations. Designed for your local prescriber to use as a clinical guide.
Can I get the comprehensive written report for accommodations?
Yes. The comprehensive diagnostic report ($450 add-on) is designed for formal documentation needs — workplace accommodations under ADA, university disability services, or testing accommodations. Available at any point during or after evaluation.
What happens after my evaluation?
You receive your integrated care plan at Visit 3, then bring it to your local prescriber for ongoing medication management. If your care plan needs updating later, you can return for a follow-up visit ($175) — telehealth — to revise with Karina.
