‍Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in social communication, behaviour, and sensory processing. Individuals with ASD often have unique ways of experiencing and responding to the world, and early diagnosis can lead to better support and tailored interventions.

Our ASD Assessment Process

At SCOPS, we offer comprehensive assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder, customised to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and adults. Our process includes:

1) Clinical Interview and Information Gathering

• A thorough discussion about your psychological history, concerns, and goals.
• Exploring social communication, behaviours, and sensory sensitivities.
• Gathering developmental, academic, and social histories.
• Identifying any co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety or learning differences.

2) Standardised Questionnaires and Testing

• Evidence-based tools to evaluate social communication, repetitive behaviours, and sensory processing patterns.
• Input from caregivers, teachers, or other significant individuals in the person's life (for children or adolescents).

3) Feedback and Recommendations

• A clear explanation of the findings, including whether ASD is present.
• Tailored strategies, referrals, or treatment options to support your goals and well-being.

Who Can Benefit from ASD Testing?

• Children showing signs of social, communication, or behavioural challenges.
• Teenagers struggle with social interaction, sensory sensitivities, or emotional regulation.
• Adults who suspect they may have undiagnosed autism and want clarity for self-understanding and support.
