ASD Assessment for Kids & Teens in Toronto
Every child experiences the world in their own way. Some love structure and routine, while others struggle with change. Some are deeply focused on specific interests but find social interactions confusing. If your child processes things differently, an ASD assessment can help bring clarity.
Signs of ASD in Children
ASD can look different from child to child. Some signs show up early, while others become clearer over time. Common signs include:
- Social differences – Difficulty with eye contact, facial expressions, or engaging with peers.
- Repetitive behaviors – Rigid routines, repetitive movements, or phrases.
- Sensory sensitivities – Strong reactions to sounds, textures, or lights.
- Intense interests – Deep focus on specific topics or activities.
How an ASD Assessment Can Help
An ASD assessment looks at how your child thinks, communicates, and interacts with the world. More than just a diagnosis, it helps you understand their strengths and challenges while guiding the right support—whether that’s school accommodations, therapy, or practical strategies to help them thrive.
