Autism Assessment Melbourne and BerwickRespectful, thorough, clear.
An autism assessment Melbourne and Berwick families can trust can be a genuine turning point. Understanding whether you or your child is autistic can explain experiences that never quite added up, unlock support at school, work or through the NDIS, and, for many people, bring a real sense of relief and self-understanding. Our psychologists offer careful, respectful autism assessments at our Berwick clinic, taking the time to get it right and to make the process as comfortable as possible.

- Differences in social communication
- A strong preference for routine and predictability
- Deep and focused interests
- Sensitivity to sound, light, texture or other input
- A sense of feeling different for as long as you can remember
- In children, differences in play, communication or social interaction
