Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessments

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Diagnostic Assessments

At Functional Psychology, we provide comprehensive Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments for both children and adults. Our assessments are designed to offer a clear understanding of an individual’s developmental, social, and behavioural profile, helping to identify whether they meet the diagnostic criteria for Autism.

Each assessment follows a best-practice, evidence-based process, integrating standardised diagnostic tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) together with multiple measures of behaviour, communication, and everyday functioning. This is complemented by comprehensive developmental history interviews and clinical observations, allowing for a detailed understanding of social communication skills, interaction patterns, focused interests, and sensory processing differences.ASD assessments can assist with:

  • Clarifying diagnosis and understanding individual needs

  • Guiding NDIS access or plan reviews

  • Informing educational planning, therapy goals, and support services

  • Supporting families and professionals to better understand communication, learning, and emotional regulation

Our approach is gentle, person-centred, and adapted to suit each individual’s age, communication style, and comfort level. A comprehensive report is provided with clear recommendations for ongoing supports, therapeutic interventions, and environmental adjustments to promote inclusion and wellbeing.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
