Autism Spectrum Disorder (Evaluations)
Psychiatric assessment of social communication, sensory, behavioral, and emotional concerns related to possible autism.
Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorder (Evaluations)
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, sensory processing, routines, and patterns of interest in different ways.
A psychiatric assessment can explore possible autism and related concerns. Some people may also need formal psychological or neurodevelopmental testing from an outside specialist before a diagnosis can be confirmed.
Common symptoms
- Differences in social communication
- Strong preference for routines or predictability
- Focused or intense interests
- Sensory sensitivity or sensory seeking
- Repetitive movements or behaviors
- Difficulty adapting to unexpected change
How it can affect daily life
Unrecognized support needs may affect school, work, relationships, daily routines, and emotional health. Anxiety, ADHD, sleep concerns, and mood symptoms can occur alongside autism.
When to seek professional help
- Developmental or social differences are affecting daily life
- A child is struggling at home, school, or with peers
- An adult wants clarity about lifelong patterns or related mental health concerns
