How is Autism Diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on a pattern of behaviors which are described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Diagnosis of an ASD requires a comprehensive evaluation using specialised assessment tools and completed by a professional with extensive knowledge and training related to autism. Appropriate evaluations provide assessment across a range of areas (e.g., motor functioning, communication, socialization, play, thinking skills, coping skills).
A referral from a professional is needed. Our autism diagnosis and assessment services include:
- psychological assessment and diagnosis of adult ASD
