Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that encompasses both social and behavioural difficulties. Although everyone with ASD shares a similar range of symptoms, each presentation is unique, with particular differences often evident between males and females.

While few parents are looking to ‘label’ their child, it is very important to conduct an objective psychological assessment to determine if a diagnosis is warranted. An accurate diagnosis not only determines what support may be available for your child at school or beyond, but also helps others to better understand why your child may behave differently and how best to respond to them.

Comprehensive ‘gold standard’ assessments of Autism Spectrum Disorder include taking detailed and specific historical information, administering a social and behavioural evaluation (ADOS-2), and standardised questionnaires to clarify your child’s unique pattern of difficulties. It is important to note that other disorders (such as ADHD, anxiety, intellectual disability, speech disorders, and learning difficulties) are commonly associated with ASD. Assessment Squared can conduct autism diagnostic assessments to assist with the diagnosis for your child.

Assessment’s Squared difference is our deep commitment to quality, research and innovation. Our partnerships with several leading international tertiary institutions and our in-house PhD program direct the creation of our evidence-based services and tools.
