Dr Pam Connor

Pam was incredibly validating, supportive and thorough during my ASD assessment. She gave me plenty of opportunities to provide extra evidence and went above and beyond in getting a clear, accurate and comprehensive report written. She supported me in advocating for myself, handled interviews with my family sensitively, and gave me the chance to fill in the gaps where more evidence was needed (rather than making snap conclusions). She didn't make assumptions, gave me scope to share my story and helped me gain fresh perspectives of my trauma history and how my ASD brain developed alongside it. I recommend her to anyone, particularly women/non-binary LGBTQIA+ folks looking for someone who won't judge, is responsive, and will help you take the next step on your ND journey. Thank you Pam!

Dr Connor is fantastic! Very insightful, thorough and just an overall very professional psychologist. Couldn't recommend more highly

Dr Conner is fantastic, easy to talk to and highly knowledgeable and qualified. Highly recommended!

Horrible experience getting a late autism diagnosis in early 2019. Instead of looking at my disorganisation and lack of routine as signs of the very common co-existing ADHD, Pam used those aspects to question whether I was autistic. I felt interrogated rather than questioned. And she flat out questioned my abuse and forced me to relive it as part of the diagnosis (which is not necessary) and did not make me feel safe in doing so; it only added to my trauma. Highly discourage any woman from going to her for a late-diagnosis. Especially if you have a history of trauma, suspect you also have ADHD, and don't present as the stereotypical autistic person. Yes, I got my diagnosis, but I had to go elsewhere and pay for another one to get the ADHD added.

I couldn’t recommend this place more! Shauna is the most amazing, helpful and patient psychologist I’ve ever encountered and I’m beyond pleased with the service. ❤️
