- Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects social communication, behavioral flexibility, and sensory processing. In many individuals—particularly those who are high-functioning, female, or older—symptoms may be subtle and often overlooked or misattributed to anxiety, ADHD, or personality traits. A comprehensive evaluation provides clarity, helping individuals better understand their experiences, strengths, and challenges.
Who This Is For
- Difficulty with social communication or maintaining relationships
- Feeling "different" or misunderstood in social settings
- Challenges interpreting social cues, tone, or nonverbal communication
- Sensory sensitivities (noise, textures, environments)
- Preference for routine or difficulty with transitions
- Teens or adults seeking late diagnosis or self-understanding
What the Evaluation Includes
- Comprehensive clinical interview (developmental, social, academic, and emotional history)
- Review of prior records (when available)
- Standardized cognitive testing
- Autism-specific diagnostic measures (when appropriate)
- Behavioral observations across tasks
- Rating scales and collateral input (if applicable)
