Autism Assessment (ASD)

Understanding neurodiversity. Honouring the whole person.

Autism presents differently from person to person and across the lifespan. Whether you are a parent seeking answers for your child, a teen navigating social and emotional challenges, or an adult wondering if autism may be part of your story, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment can offer valuable insight, clarity, and direction.

An autism assessment helps identify unique ways of thinking, processing, and relating to the world. It can explain long-standing challenges, highlight strengths, and open the door to meaningful support — at home, in school, at work, and in relationships. Our process is respectful, collaborative, and grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming approach.

Why Seek an Autism Assessment?

You or your child may benefit from an ASD assessment if there are signs such as:

  • Difficulty with social interactions, communication, or forming relationships

  • Repetitive behaviours, routines, or intense interests

  • Sensory sensitivities (e.g., to sound, light, texture)

  • Challenges with transitions, flexibility, or changes in routine

  • Emotional regulation difficulties or frequent overwhelm

  • Feeling different, misunderstood, or out of step with peers

  • A strong desire for clarity or self-understanding

  • A recommendation from a teacher, healthcare provider, or counsellor

What Does the Assessment Involve?

Our autism assessments are tailored to the individual’s age, profile, and needs, and may include:

  • Developmental and clinical interviews with the individual and/or caregivers

  • Autism-specific diagnostic tools, such as the ADI-R and the ADOS-2

  • Cognitive and executive functioning assessments, when helpful

  • Social-emotional and behavioural questionnaires

  • Sensory profile screening

  • Review of school records or past assessments, where relevant

  • Teacher, parent, or partner input, when appropriate

Each assessment includes:

  • A comprehensive written report with clear diagnostic impressions

  • A 1-hour feedback session to review results, answer questions, and offer support

  • Tailored recommendations for home, school, work, and daily life
