Autism Assessment & Diagnosis
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals perceive the world and interact with others.
It is referred to as a ‘spectrum’ because it presents differently in each person, with varying degrees of challenges and strengths.
Adult ASD Assessment
An adult ASD assessment helps individuals gain clarity about how autism may affect their daily life, relationships, and career.
For many adults, an assessment can provide answers to lifelong questions and open up access to appropriate support and strategies.
Children’s ASD Assessment
A children’s ASD assessment focuses on early identification to help parents understand their child’s behaviour, challenges, and strengths.
Early diagnosis can lead to better outcomes by connecting children with the right interventions and support at a critical time in their development.
