What Families Are Saying About us

Testimonials
Heartfelt Experience
“As an adult seeking an autism diagnosis, Samantha was amazing to work with from the moment I first reached out to her with my concerns, to meeting in person, and then at our final zoom call to go over my results! She was very quick to respond to my emails, always making sure to answer with well-thought out and detailed information. She is also so knowledgeable, understanding, and truly cares about helping which just immediately made me comfortable with her. I would HIGHLY recommend Love Neurodiversity Consulting to anyone seeking autism evaluations!”
A Blessing for My Daughter’s Journey
“Samantha has been a blessing for my daughter!
She was able to set up an evaluation within 2 weeks and shared the results a week later.
After years of trying to get help for my daughter, long wait lists, and absolute frustration, we finally found the help we need so that my daughter can thrive. During the assessment, my daughter and I immediately felt comfortable in Samantha’s presence. The rapport was immediate and we look forward to working with her in the future. Please consider Samantha Love! I can’t express in words how grateful I am to have her be involved in my daughter’s care.”
Transformative Experience for a Young Adult
“A few months ago one of the young adults in our life who we consider part of our chosen family, was referred by her primary care provider to an occupational therapist. That excellent professional referred us to get an autism assessment. Finding Samantha was pure gold. For 34 years this beautiful young woman in our life had been toxically-high functioning, & gaslighting herself that her deteriorating mental and physical state was her own fault. Getting Samantha’s Assessment is allowing us to pursue services and incorporate brain health into daily routines in ways that we hope foster thriving! Samantha‘s manner is totally non-shaming & delightful, while still being highly professional and knowledgeable, and makes the experience one not to fear. I so appreciate her mission to be easily accessible, physically, financially and psychologically. Part of my mission now is to remove shame around adult autism diagnosis. If you have any suspicion, this might apply to someone you love, please, don’t delay, consequences can be lethal. Thank you Samantha!”
Comfort and Clarity
I would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone. When we began to consider if our son (13) might be autistic, the process felt overwhelming to go through insurance. It would require a first appointment with his PCM, that was scheduled almost a month out, then referral for an autism eval which could be up to a year. I reached out to Samantha and in under a month my son was evaluated, and results provided.
She did an in-home evaluation. My son felt safe and comfortable. She is very personable, kind, and professional. The evaluation results were delivered to my spouse and me over zoom. Samantha was extremely thorough in her presentation of the results. This information is vital in getting our son the help he needs academically and socially. It also helps our family be appropriately accommodating to his needs.
I am grateful that Samantha is out there in our community doing great work at addressing a huge need!”
Answering Our Prayers
Let me just say- finding Love Neurodiversity Consulting felt like an answer to prayer! I called many clinics and was told that the waiting list for autism evaluations were at 18-24 months. I was so discouraged! But luckily a fb friend recommended Samantha and we had a meeting within 2 weeks! And the results 2 weeks after that! All wrapped up within 30 days; INCREDIBLE.

Samantha was quick to respond, super friendly in all of her communication, and made the process easy peasy for this first timer. My 11 year old son also felt really at ease with her (which was important to me as mom) and our hour long eval flew by. All of the info Samantha gave us before and after the assessment was clearly explained and I left with all of my questions answered. She made my son feel validated, encouraged, and excited to tap into his newfound superpower. 10/10!
Beyond Knowledgeable
Samantha Love was knowledgeable, supportive and set clear parameters for the assessment and results. She went above and beyond when I had questions and was thoughtful and intentional with time. It never appeared she was rushed and wanted to make sure the experience was leaving me feeling good about next steps.
Demystifying Autism Evaluation
Sam is incredible. Her process is full of empathy and kindness. Sam helped me understand what having an autism diagnosis means, sat me down with my partner to discuss her findings, was/is always available for questions that inevitably come up.
I can’t say enough good things about Sam and Love Neurodiversity Consulting. She is phenomenal and she gets it. And if you’re reading this, I’m sure you know what that means.

The whole process is entirely demystified and accessible. Seriously, stop considering inquiring and do it. You won’t find a better resource.
