Assessment process

We offer our diagnostic assessment in 2 parts,
starting with an initial autism screening:

Autism screening:
a first step

Wondering whether
autism or AuDHD explains your experience?

Our autism screening
is a significant step to gain clarity!

Helps you understand
if a full assessment makes sense for you.


A full diagnostic autism assessment is a significant
investment in time, energy, and cost. Our screening helps
you decide before committing to that larger step.

You’ll receive a clear 10–15-page report explaining how your results do or don’t align with common autistic patterns in adults—along with clinical guidance to help you make an informed decision about whether pursuing a full diagnostic assessment could be worthwhile.

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history.

We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us.

Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
