Autism spectrum disorder (or ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the brain as it develops. Children as young as 3 months old can display signs ofAutism such as lack of eye contact, little or no babbling, and muted emotional responses.
Autism can look very different from one child to another. For example, a person with profound autism may not be able to attend school and could require support for all functional living activities. If self-harm behaviors are present, they may need a higher level of care than a family can handle.
On the other end of the spectrum, children may be functioning well at school and home and only require minor accommodations to ensure their development remains on pace with their peers. Autistic individuals that are in the moderate range may require higher support needs in school, one on one behavioral therapy, and they may need support going into adulthood.
Autism is a complex disorder that is heavily influenced by your genetic makeup.Autism is highly (over 80% of cases) heritable. Family history is important to review with your doctor or psychologist during testing.
Other factors that contribute to an autism diagnosis include neurobiology, maternal health, and early exposure to certain environmental factors (ex: pollution, toxins in water).
The list of licensed professionals are able to assess for and diagnosis ASD include:
At Dimensions Psychology, our team has extensive experience in assessing for and diagnosing autism. We assess children using a strengths-based approach. We address the behavioral deficits and developmental concerns associated withAutism and have room to highlight their strengths.
A feedback session is our opportunity to review our overall impressions, discuss deficits that require support, and highlight areas of strength and ability. We view the feedback and diagnosis session as an opportunity to empower, educate, and guide families towards support services in Dallas Texas that are tailored toward their needs.
It is only through an assessment with a qualified professional that a child can receive a diagnosis for ASD. Often treatment options and support resources are reserved only for those with a diagnosis, therefore it's vital to have it documented in their medical records.
