Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) describes neurological and developmental differences that influence how a person perceives, communicates, and interacts with the world. While presentations vary widely, common characteristics may include:
Historically, conditions such as Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) were separated; ASD now encompasses this spectrum.

An autism assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It involves a detailed review of developmental history, behaviours, and social interactions. At our autism clinic, we use gold-standard diagnostic tools, such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), to ensure precise, objective, and timely results. Our autism assessment service helps individuals understand their needs and access tailored support and autism spectrum disorder treatments.
