Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC, or Autism Spectrum Disorder) represents a natural variation in human neurodevelopment that influences social interaction, communication styles and also includes distinctive, repetitive behaviors and focused interests. The word "spectrum" reflects the diverse expression of traits and the varied intensity of these characteristics among adults with autism. This diversity means that while some adults may subtly navigate social interactions and manage relationships, others might encounter more significant challenges. These variations in autism manifest distinctly across different people and genders, highlighting the need for a personalised assessment.
The Process of the Assessment
Individual circumstances differ, but in principle, every psychological assessment has four parts: (1) a clinical interview to obtain information on current challenges and the personal as well as medical history, (2) a series of psychological questionnaires and tests, (3) the explanation of results and (4) a report. Naturally, an assessment also includes the scoring of tests, the interpretation of results, the review of documents and writing the report.
Please note that government agencies in Australia, such as the NDIS, accept psychological reports from clinical psychologists only. We are a group of clinical psychologists endorsed by the Psychology Board of Australia. We offer assessments in a single day or distributed over several sessions. In Australia, Medicare and private health rebates are available to support the assessment. There is no waiting list, so please email us today: info@autismassessments.com.au
Psychological Reports
Psychological reports serve as critical tools for various support agencies such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Centrelink, employers, and other relevant third parties. By offering a detailed and objective evaluation of an individual's psychological state, these reports facilitate the process of securing appropriate support and resources. For example, a report typically encompasses a description of the psychological tests conducted, the individual results of these assessments, and subsequent recommendations. This is particularly useful for communicating an individual's needs and capabilities, thereby speeding up the decision-making process regarding their eligibility for benefits or accommodations.

Our psychologists do their very best to serve clients in need. A scheduled appointment means that both the psychologist and the counselling room are available
at the allocated time. In case of a late cancellation, however, it is nearly impossible to book another client into the same time slot. Hence, it is policy
to charge 50% of the consultation fee for cancellations within 48 hours and 100% of the fee for cancellations within 24 hours (business days), same-day
cancellations or a failure to attend a scheduled appointment.
Autism and ADHD Assessments reserves the right to refuse or terminate services where this seems appropriate. Autism and ADHD Assessments also reserves
the right to move face-to-face consultations to online appointments when this is necessary (e.g. lockdowns). Please note that we do not consent to the recoding
of online sessions.
