Autism Assessment Package

Children being assessed at Project Wellbeing

Autism Assessment Package

Our Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments have been developed using best-practice guidelines for assessing ASD. Our assessment package includes an in-depth clinical interview, validated psychometric measures for assessing for ASD, and a comprehensive psychological report.

The comprehensive report includes a detailed overview of symptoms, a thorough description of test results, interpretation of assessment and practical, evidence-based recommendations for next steps.

Some common symptoms of ASD which may indicate that an assessment could be useful include:

Failure to initiate or respond to social interactions including back-and-forth conversation
Difficulties in developing or maintaining friendships
Reduced emotions or affect
Repetitive motor movements or use of objects
Insistence on routine and sameness
Highly restricted interests
Hyper- or hypoactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects
