Specialist Autism Assessment & Diagnosis in Sydney CBD
Peace of Mind Psychology, we offer structured autism assessments for children, adolescents, and adults who are seeking clarity about social communication, sensory sensitivities, or other characteristics associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Whether you are a parent seeking a child autism assessment in Sydney CBD, a young person looking for an adolescent autism assessment, or an adult pursuing an adult autism diagnosis in Sydney CBD, our team is here to help.
Autism can present very differently from person to person. Some individuals may have long wondered about certain patterns of thinking, feeling, or interacting with the world. Others may be navigating school or workplace challenges and are looking for answers. Our experienced psychologists conduct comprehensive, individualised evaluations to determine whether an autism spectrum diagnosis is appropriate and to provide meaningful guidance on next steps.
Our assessment philosophy:
- Neuro-Affirming Care: We view autism as a difference rather than a deficit, and approach every assessment with respect and compassion for the whole person.
- Evidence-Based Tools: Our psychologists use clinically validated, gold-standard instruments to conduct every autism test in Sydney CBD.
- Comprehensive Reporting: You will receive a detailed written report outlining diagnostic findings, individual strengths, and tailored recommendations for ongoing support or therapy.
