Comprehensive online autism and ADHD evaluations
Avela Health offers clinically rigorous virtual evaluations to South Carolina residents — from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re seeking an autism evaluation, an ADHD assessment, or a differential diagnosis that accounts for both, our process is built for the complexity your family is actually living.
A virtual evaluation with Avela Health is a telehealth-based diagnostic assessment designed to identify autism, ADHD, or both — along with the sensory, regulatory, and communicative patterns that shape your child’s daily experience. Our evaluations are neurodiversity-affirming and covered

Pediatric autism and ADHD evaluations
You’ve noticed the pattern — at school, at home, in the moments no one else is watching
closely enough. Maybe you’ve been told to “wait and see.” Maybe you’ve already started
forming your own hypothesis. Either way, your observations matter. They’re data.
Avela Health provides timely autism and ADHD evaluations for children and teens across South
Carolina. Our assessments are completed by doctoral-level clinical psychologists trained in
masking, mixed presentations, and the kind of complexity that a standard screening misses.
We don’t just hand you a report. We build a plan with you — because you know your child better than anyone in the room.

Adult autism evaluations
For many adults, the question isn’t new — it’s been building for years. Maybe you’ve always felt
like you were working harder than everyone else to keep up. Maybe a child’s diagnosis made
you look at your own experience differently. That recognition is valid, and it deserves a
thorough, respectful evaluation.
Avela Health offers expert-led virtual autism and ADHD evaluations for adults, covered by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. Our doctoral-level psychologists are trained in evaluating high-masking presentations and differential diagnoses — distinguishing between autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and other overlapping profiles — so you get the full picture.

What’s the difference between an autism evaluation and an ADHD evaluation?
Autism and ADHD frequently co-occur, and symptoms can overlap — challenges with focus, social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation can show up in both. That’s why our evaluations are designed to look at the full picture. We assess for autism, ADHD, and related profiles together, so you leave with a clear understanding of what’s actually driving the patterns you’re seeing — not just a single label.
Who is a virtual pediatric evaluation right for?
We evaluate children and teens of all ages and customize our process based on your child’s age, needs, and communication style. A virtual evaluation with Avela Health is a strong fit for families who:
- Have been noticing patterns — sensory sensitivities, social struggles, focus challenges,
rigid routines, or meltdowns that don’t match the situation - Have a pediatrician or school recommending further evaluation
- Have been stuck on waitlists or told to “just wait and see”
- Want a thorough assessment from home, without the travel or clinic stress
Does Avela Health do ADOS testing?
At Avela Health, we use a range of evidence-based assessment tools tailored to each child and family. Our process can include caregiver interviews, direct observation or video review, and standardized assessments.
When clinically appropriate, we use a version of the ADOS that has been adapted for telehealth. The goal is always the same: a thorough evaluation that captures the full complexity of your child’s profile.
How can Avela Health help adults considering an autism or ADHD diagnosis?
Many adults reach us after years of wondering — or after a child’s diagnosis opened a new lens on their own experience. Our adult evaluations are led by doctoral-level psychologists experienced with high-masking presentations and the overlap between autism, ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD. We meet you where you are, take your self-knowledge seriously, and give you a clear, affirming path forward.
