Dr. Shannon Senefeld, PSY.D

I do not think Dr. Senefeld is a bad person. However, if you are an adult who needs an Autism evaluation (and especially an adult female), I’d recommend that you NOT go to Dr. Senefeld. Instead, go to someone whose professional focus is Autism in ADULTS (not children) and who has a deep understanding of Autism in women. Following my evaluation with Dr. Senefeld, I was left with an incomplete explanation as to why I’ve always struggled in the specific ways that I do. Many of my symptoms were dismissed or not included in the final report. The outcome of the evaluation (and Dr. Senefeld’s explanation) did not make sense to me or to my family, so I decided to seek a second opinion. This time, I went to a psychologist who specializes in Autism in Adults. Following this comprehensive evaluation, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1 and the evaluator told me, “It is very clear to me that you have Autism”. If you’re an adult, it’s important to go to an Adult Autism specialist.
