Autism Assessment
Autism is a neuro-developmental profile characterised by differences in communication, social interaction, thinking style, and sensory processing. Autism can be identified in childhood or adulthood and both males and females can be autistic.
Autism assessments are conducted by a multi-disciplinary team (two or more clinicians from different professions). Insight Clinic, established by Dr Jude Hutchinson and Leigh McGowan, is a growing team of experienced Autism diagnosticians from Psychology and Allied Health backgrounds. For children and young people (under 18 years old) there is often the additional requirement of a medical examination completed by a Paediatrician, this is undertaken by our colleague Dr Henderson of Sonny Healthcare.
