Autism Diagnosis

 

Getting a diagnosis of Autism can be a life-changing event. There are many differences between a medical diagnosis of Autism and an educational determination or school evaluation of disability. Learn which can help you access programs and services that can assist with work or school.

But the benefits of an Autism diagnosis extend even further. For many individuals, it means finally receiving clarity, understanding and insight into lifelong differences. With that understanding, an Autistic person can build on their strengths, and their loved ones can offer more effective support.
