The assessment process for adult autism involves a comprehensive evaluation, including gathering information about social interactions, communication skills, repetitive behaviours, and sensory sensitivities. We might also consider developmental history (if available), and review any relevant documents. We use a multidisciplinary approach to ensure a thorough assessment.
