If you have concerns about your child and suspect they may have Autism, Child Mental Health Clinic offers ASD assessments that will give you the clarity you seek.
Although there is no cure for ASD, getting a diagnosis can help in so many ways, including helping to get your child the support they need at home or school. You can also learn more about the condition and the best ways with which to provide a brighter future for your child.
A diagnosis also helps you determine which behaviours are due to autism, rather than merely bad behaviour.
We highly recommend an initial psychiatric consultation with our Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist to explore your concerns in detail, this will include a screening for autism & we will only advise you to move forward if your child screens positive for Autism.
For the assessment we offer a multi-disciplinary assessment using structured diagnostic tools including the ADi-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised) and ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule-2), both of which are considered gold standard assessment measures in the evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
