Autism assessments for children and adults in Camberwell and McKinnon

Early and accurate identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can make a significant difference in how a person experiences school, relationships and everyday life. At Reflection Psychology, we offer comprehensive autism assessments for both children and adults across our Melbourne clinics in Camberwell and McKinnon.

Our experienced autism psychologists provide clear, evidence-based diagnostic evaluations tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether you are seeking an autism assessment for a child or an adult autism assessment, we aim to provide clarity, support and appropriate pathways forward.

Autism assessments for children

A child autism assessment can be helpful if a child is displaying signs such as difficulty with social interaction, communication challenges, repetitive behaviours or sensory sensitivities. We offer structured ASD diagnostic assessments for kids that follow best-practice guidelines and use validated tools such as the ADOS-2 and developmental history interviews.

An early autism diagnosis can help families access essential school supports, therapies and funding opportunities. Our psychologists also provide reports suitable for use with education providers, GPs and support services.

Signs a child may benefit from an autism assessment include:

  • Delayed speech or language development
  • Difficulty engaging with peers
  • Repetitive behaviours or restricted interests
  • Strong responses to sensory input (e.g. sound, touch)

If you’re unsure whether to pursue an autism diagnosis for your child, our team is available for consultation to discuss your concerns and guide the next steps.

Autism assessments for adults

Many adults go undiagnosed for years, only recognising signs of ASD later in life. If you’ve long felt “different,” struggled with social interactions, or found it hard to manage sensory input or changes in routine, an adult autism assessment may help clarify your experience and support your personal wellbeing.

Our assessments are discreet, respectful and tailored to the unique presentation of autism in adults. We provide comprehensive reports and can offer follow-up referrals to support services, if needed.

Expert support and integrated care

At Reflection Psychology, all autism testing is carried out by registered psychologists experienced in working with neurodiverse individuals. Where relevant, we may also recommend complementary assessments, including our ADHD and ADD assessments or cognitive & educational assessments, to provide a broader understanding of a person’s needs.
