How do I get a Diagnosis

Autism SA can provide Diagnostic Assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism SA accepts referrals from parents and professionals for children that they suspect may have an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Autism SA provides a wide ranging diagnostic service in accordance with internationally recognised best practice standards that endeavours to support families and individuals through the assessment process.

Referrals are also accepted from adults who wish to refer themselves for an assessment.

All referrals must be in writing.  Telephone referrals will not be accepted.

Alternatively a referral form can be downloaded here.

Once a referral is received by Autism SA a package of information containing a questionnaire and consent for services form will be sent to the relevant person.

When all forms are returned to Autism SA, a letter will be sent out confirming time of assessment and other relevant details

Costs:
Multi-disciplinary for individuals under 18: $800
Multi-disciplinary for individuals over 18: $450  
Confirmation of diagnosis for individual of any age: $350
