Autism Spectrum Disorder Testing

Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a developmental disorder that impacts communication, social interactions, and behavior. It is a spectrum disorder, which means that individuals with autism can have a wide range of symptoms and abilities. People with autism may have difficulty with social interactions, communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities. Autism can affect individuals in different ways and to different degrees, and early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve outcomes for those with the disorder.

Autism testing is for ages 12 months and up.

Testing includes various assessments, including The ADOS-2, or the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition, a standardized assessment tool used to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It involves a series of structured and semi-structured activities that help evaluate social communication, play, and imaginative use of materials for individuals suspected of having ASD.
