When Should You Consider an Autism Assessment?

Autism presents differently in every child, and no two children have the same profile of strengths and challenges.

Parents often seek an assessment if their child:

  • Finds social situations confusing or overwhelming.
  • Prefers routine and becomes distressed by unexpected change.
  • Has strong or highly focused interests.
  • Experiences sensory sensitivities to sound, light, textures or food.
  • Finds making or maintaining friendships difficult.
  • Appears exhausted after school from masking their differences.
  • Communicates differently from their peers.
  • Experiences emotional overwhelm or anxiety in everyday situations.

An assessment provides a clearer understanding of your child's experiences and helps identify the most appropriate support moving forward.
