What an autism evaluation can clarify
The evaluation considers whether the information gathered supports autism as an explanation for the experiences being explored, and whether other factors may also be relevant. It does not promise a diagnosis or a particular outcome.
A neuroaffirmative, strengths-aware approach considers a person’s context, abilities, and support needs without treating differences as defects. An evaluation is an objective process for understanding a question, not a judgment of a person’s worth.
