Autism Diagnostic Testing for Children

Autism Diagnostic Testing

The diagnosis of Autism incorporates three components:

1) Clinical Interview:

Conducted with parent or guardian, in which a history of the developmental course is obtained. This includes motor, language, social, and emotional functioning. The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is also completed.

2) Clinical Observation:

Observations of the child in a variety of settings and situations.  It is typically started with in-clinic observation in a waiting room and during the administration of the ADOS-2, and if needed, will observe the child in academic or social situations.
