An autism diagnosis entails a multifaceted approach incorporating observations, developmental history assessments, parent and caregiver interviews, and standardized tests.
Our team of experts utilizes various tools and techniques to gather essential information about your child’s developmental trajectory, social interactions, communication patterns, and behavioral nuances.
Initiating the process of an autism diagnosis for your child involves proactive engagement with healthcare providers such as pediatricians, psychologists, or developmental specialists.
Whether prompted by your specific concerns or the concerns of those around your child, seeking an autism diagnosis starts with open communication about developmental milestones, social interactions, and behaviors that you are noticing at home.
A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is based on specific criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
These criteria encompass two main areas: social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests.
Diagnosing ASD involves assessing the presence and severity of these criteria across various settings and developmental stages. A comprehensive evaluation by qualified health professionals is necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention planning.

Following an autism diagnosis, families begin a journey of deeper understanding and tailored support.
Gathering reliable information about autism helps parents recognize their child’s strengths, areas of need, and available resources and treatment options.
