Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that influences how individuals experience communication, social interaction, sensory input, and patterns of thinking. Autism exists along a wide spectrum, meaning individuals may share certain characteristics while having very different strengths, needs, and ways of engaging with the world.
Autism can shape how a person understands and responds to social cues, routines, and changes in their environment. Some individuals experience heightened sensitivity to sensory input, differences in communication style, or a preference for predictability and structure. When these differences are misunderstood or unsupported, individuals may experience stress, fatigue, or challenges in relationships, education, or work settings.
A comprehensive psychological assessment helps clarify whether observed patterns align with autism or reflect other factors such as anxiety, trauma, or ADHD. Assessment provides a nuanced understanding of strengths, challenges, and support needs, moving beyond stereotypes or assumptions.
At TAPS, autism assessment is used to promote self-understanding, access appropriate supports, and guide informed, compassionate next steps.
