Evaluating Autism in Children, Teens, and Adults

If you or your child experiences challenges with social cues, communication, or sensory sensitivities, you may be wondering whether autism could be part of the picture. Perhaps your child’s teachers have raised concerns about behavior or learning differences, or you’ve noticed that certain situations are harder for them to navigate than others. Getting answers can open the door to new understanding and meaningful support.

At District Counseling in Fort Worth, we provide autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults that focus on the individual, not just the diagnosis. Our licensed clinicians use evidence-based assessment tools to identify each person’s strengths and challenges. This approach enables us to provide clear guidance on next steps related to care, education, and personal development. When properly applied, we believe that knowledge can become a key source of empowerment, inclusion, and self-acceptance for all our clients.

Comprehensive, Multi-Step Assessment

Our autism testing process is designed to provide a complete, accurate understanding of each individual’s needs and abilities. Evaluations typically include clinical interviews, behavioral observations, and standardized diagnostic tools.

We also collaborate with parents, teachers, or caregivers when appropriate to gather valuable insights. This holistic perspective helps to ensure results that truly reflect the individual’s experiences.

Clear Feedback and Recommendations

After testing, our clinicians offer a comprehensive feedback session to explain the outcome clearly and compassionately. You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining findings, along with recommendations for therapy, educational support, and community resources. Our goal is to make sure you leave with both understanding and a plan for future growth and success.

Respectful and Inclusive Care

Every person’s experience with autism is unique. That’s why we approach every evaluation with empathy and respect. At District Counseling, our therapists celebrate neurodiversity and aim to create a supportive environment where individuals feel seen, valued, and accepted exactly as they are.
