Why Seek an Evaluation: Signs


The signs of autism are basically the same across the lifespan.  Autistic adults will have some pattern of social/communication characteristics, interests, and behaviors that fits into the autism criteria. Diagnostic determinations include consideration of how most same age peers interact, communicate, and behave and consideration of the person’s developmental history.
