If you are concerned your child is showing signs of autism, there are several avenues to assessment and diagnosis. Make an appointment at one of Ontario’s five diagnostic hubs. Your child will be seen by a multidisciplinary team, and following the assessment, you will be provided with a report, including a diagnosis (if applicable). Developmental Pediatricians are able to assess a child for autism using various diagnostic tools. Families may choose to pay out-of-pocket for an assessment from a psychologist who is qualified to make a diagnosis of autism. An assessment of your child should involve both parent reports and questionnaires, as well as direct observation of your child.
