Testing for Autism Helps Families Navigate Life with a Developmental Disorder

Testing for autism can be a difficult process because there are no medical procedures to confirm the condition. A two-stage process is used that requires observation and discussion.

Autism testing is essential because some symptoms can overlap with other mental health conditions, like ADHD.

We provide professional evaluations and guidance to help our clients find solutions that allow them to manage symptoms and live life as fully as possible. Pinnacle Psychology specialists can provide answers and help you build a bright future through better mental health management.

We Help Patients Understand Their Autism Diagnosis

Every patient is unique, which is why we begin the process by understanding your journey so far. After an initial consultation, we will perform testing for autism. This evaluation will allow us to gather evidence and determine what mental health conditions may be affecting you. We will assess:

· Executive function

· Cognitive skills

· Attention and focus

· Interaction with others

A thorough autism assessment is necessary to ensure a correct diagnosis. We take a multi-pronged approach to gather as much data as we can for our patients.
