[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only got a neuropsych because multiple therapists who had worked with my kid suspected autism but they weren't 100% sure and could not diagnose.[/quote] You don’t need a neuropsych to diagnose autism. [/quote] A full neuropsychological examination for autism is not always required, but it becomes especially important when there are significant developmental, social, or learning concerns and when you need a very detailed, “big‑picture” profile of your child’s brain‑based strengths and weaknesses. You’d typically consider a comprehensive neuropsych evaluation if there is diagnostic uncertainty—for example, professionals are unsure whether symptoms are due to autism, ADHD, an anxiety disorder, a language disorder, or a learning disability—so a broader assessment is needed to sort this out.[/quote]
