All Ages Autism Assessments

Most Major Insurance Accepted • No Referral Needed* • In-Person & Online

You don’t need to have all the answers to seek clarity

You don’t need to have all the answers to seek clarity. If you’re wondering whether you or a loved one might be on the autism spectrum, that curiosity deserves exploration – and you deserve answers quickly, not after years of uncertainty and stress.

Behavioral Health Clinic offers strengths-based, autism-affirming evaluations for all ages either online or in person.

Common Signs We Evaluate:

  • Social communication and relationship challenges
  • Sensory experiences that feel overwhelming or unusual
  • Repetitive behaviors or intensely focused interests
  • Information processing differences and uneven skill development
  • Feeling different from others in ways that are hard to explain

Our Approach to Autism Assessment

At Behavioral Health Clinic, we believe autism is a neurological difference to be understood and celebrated, not something requiring correction. Our comprehensive evaluations combine  assessment tools with a neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors individual unique experiences and differences across the lifespan. We have a shorter waitlist than most clinics, and provide same-week results so you don’t have to endure weeks of additional waiting after your assessment is complete.

What to Expect

How do I know if I/my child needs an autism assessment?
If you’re noticing social communication differences, sensory processing challenges, or feeling like your own mind works differently than others, an assessment can provide valuable clarity. You don’t need to meet specific criteria to deserve answers – and you don’t need to wait a year for those answers.
Will insurance cover an autism assessment?
Most major insurance plans cover autism assessments, typically with standard copay requirements. We recommend verifying your network and benefit coverage with your specific insurance before scheduling so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.
What if the assessment doesn't show autism but I/my child still struggles?

Not meeting autism criteria doesn’t invalidate your concerns. Our comprehensive evaluation often identifies other conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or learning differences that explain your experiences, with immediate feedback and clear recommendations for support.

Is it worth getting assessed as an adult?

Many adults find tremendous relief in understanding their autism characteristics, even later in life. Your assessment results could allow you to start accessing workplace accommodations, community support, and unlock a deeper self-understanding.

Do you offer bilingual or interpreter services?
Yes! We partner with Language Services Associates to provide professional interpreter services at no cost to our clients. If you need language assistance during your appointment, let our team know when scheduling and we’ll make sure an interpreter is available.

What Happens When You Call:
