Autism Assessment

Autism assessment plays an important role in diagnosing and assisting children and adults with autism. An assessment will provide you with a comprehensive report (including evidence-based recommendations), a feedback session that deconstructs the assessment report in an easy to understand way, and ongoing guidance and support with your next steps.

What are some common symptoms of autism?

  • Excessive routines, patterns or behaviours and distressed by change
  • Repetitive speech or movements
  • Strong sensory reactions to sound, pain or textures
  • Poor non-verbal communication i.e. not pointing, nodding, smiling or using hand gestures
  • Difficulty developing and maintaining close friends
  • Delayed expressed speech or loss of language skills
  • Lack of eye contact
  • Fixated interests with certain things and topics
  • Aggressive toward other people or self
  • And more…
