Description
This companion guide provides a practical approach to assessing for the possibility of autism in clients of all ages. As our understanding of autism has expanded, many clinicians feel uncertain about how to incorporate this knowledge into their diagnostic process, leading to missed diagnoses and inadequate support for autistic individuals.
The book describes current assessment methods, including interviewing, rating scales, self-report measures, social cognition tests, and behavioral observations, as well as guidance on cultural considerations, common mistakes, and how to communicate with and support clients through the diagnostic process.
With a clear and neurodiversity-affirmative approach, this guide is relevant to all healthcare professionals looking to improve their ability to identify autism in their clients and provide the necessary support.
