Autism Testing in Wayne County, MI

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms or concerns related to ASD, seeking professional evaluation and testing can help clarify diagnosis and guide treatment planning. At Bright Pine Behavioral Health, a private outpatient mental health clinic in Wayne County, Michigan, we offer premier neuropsychological and psychological testing services for individuals of all ages.

What is Autism Testing?

Autism testing is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning, using evidence-based assessment tools and techniques to identify core symptoms of ASD, as well as related conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression. Testing typically involves multiple appointments and may include interviews with the individual and their family, observations, and standardized tests.

Who Needs Autism Testing?

Autism testing may be recommended for individuals who show signs or symptoms of ASD, such as difficulty with social interaction, communication, or repetitive behaviors. Testing may also be recommended for individuals who have a family history of ASD or other neurodevelopmental conditions, or who have experienced environmental or other risk factors.

What can I expect during an autism testing appointment? At Bright Pine Behavioral Health, our autism testing services are led by a team of licensed clinicians who have extensive training and experience in evaluating and diagnosing a wide range of neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions. During your appointment, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences. We will use gold standard assessment tools and techniques to identify core symptoms of ASD, as well as related conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression. We will also assess strengths and weaknesses in areas such as social communication, sensory processing, executive functioning, and adaptive skills.

What Happens After an Autism Diagnosis?

If an individual is diagnosed with ASD, they and their family will work closely with their healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to their needs and preferences. Treatment may include evidence-based interventions and therapies such as individual and family counseling, behavior management, social skills training, and educational advocacy. At Bright Pine Behavioral Health, we believe in a collaborative and holistic approach to testing and treatment, working closely with our clients, their families, and other healthcare providers to provide clear and actionable feedback and recommendations that are grounded in empirical research and clinical expertise.
