Autism is a condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, interacts with others, and experiences their environment. It is a lifelong disability that starts when a person is born and stays with them into old age. Our team of experienced psychologists assess and diagnose autism using the ADOS-2, ADI-R and SRS-2. We offer assessment to both children and adults.
The assessment occurs over two sessions. The first session can be online or in person and involves taking a detailed background history and current behaviours. The second session is face to face, with questionnaires also needing to be filled in. A report is then provided with the findings and a feedback session is offered to go through the report and ask any questions you may have.
Reports have a quick turnaround and are completed within a fortnight.
And certain others. Of course, exhibiting any of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean that the person has autism, and this is why it is important for you or your loved one to undergo a comprehensive autism assessment.
Whilst there is no specific treatment for ASD, there are numerous practices that can help manage the condition. These include:
Occupational therapy helps support the individual sensory motor development as well as assist with tier independence and social participation
Speech pathology puts an emphasis on developing the individual’s social and communication skills
Designed to help the individual understand their emotions, particular in social and behavioural settings
These are quiet spaces where the individual can feel relaxed and escape any overwhelming situations that may be causing distress.
