ASD Assessment

Autism Spectrum Disorders

Neurodiversity is a unique strength, but navigating a diagnosis can feel overwhelming. We provide comprehensive, gold-standard Autism assessments designed to bring clarity to your or your child's experience. By combining cognitive profiling with deep clinical observation, we move beyond labels to understand the specific social, communication, and sensory processing patterns that make you who you are—paving the way for targeted support and NDIS access.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent challenges in social communication and interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities.

Autism Assessment

Who is this for?

This is a diagnostic assessment for autism, including a cognitive profile.

It is recommended if you or your child experience increased difficulty with socialising, routine changes, atypical sensory experiences and other experiences characteristic of autism.
