Finally, Clarity and Support for You and Your Child’s Autism Journey
Concerned About Autism? Take the First Step Towards Understanding
Do you or your child experience difficulties with social interactions, communication, or adapting to changes in routine? These challenges may be indicators of Autism Spectrum Disorder – but only a comprehensive assessment can provide a clear diagnosis.
Does This Sound Familiar?
- Difficulty making or maintaining friendships, avoiding eye contact, or not picking up on social cues.
- Feeling overwhelmed by sounds, lights, or textures that others seem to handle with ease.
- Getting upset by changes in routines or fixating on specific interests or activities.
- Delayed speech development, trouble expressing thoughts, or difficulty understanding others' emotions.
At OneLife Psychology, we specialise in diagnosing ASD using the most advanced tools available, helping you understand the unique strengths and difficulties you are dealing with. Our specialised ASD assessments and reports also support NDIS applications, providing you with the resources you need for the next step.

Preparing for an Autism Assessment:Â 7 Things to Know Before Seeking DiagnosisÂ
The Hidden Impact of Autism in Children and Adults
At OneLife Psychology, we often see families and individuals unsure of how to manage the challenges of undiagnosed autism. Whether it’s a child or an adult, an autism diagnosis can bring clarity and relief.
Without a diagnosis, both children and adults may struggle in several ways:
- Difficulty making friends or understanding social cues, leading to isolation and frustration.
- Sensory sensitivities like loud noises or changes in routine, causing overwhelm or withdrawal.
- Trouble expressing needs or understanding others, resulting in emotional outbursts.
- A strong need for routine or fixation on specific interests, creating anxiety when things don’t go as expected.
- Feeling “different” or misunderstood, leading to low confidence and emotional distress.
These challenges impact not just the individual but their family as well. An autism assessment can provide answers and help guide the next steps for support.
The Sydney Upper North Shore Therapy Program for Autism
We understand that getting answers is important, and our process makes it simple and clear.Â
Step 1 -Initial Intake Session
We start by meeting with you to discuss your child's development and any concerns you may have. For younger children, we involve parents and caregivers in this session using structured interviews. These tools help us understand your child’s social, emotional, and behavioural patterns. If we're assessing an adult, we’ll conduct detailed interviews to gather information about their life history and current challenges.
Step 2 -Â Observation and Testing
Next, we conduct a thorough assessment using well-established tools. These help us observe communication styles, interactions with others, and responses to various situations. We may also gather additional insights from teachers, caregivers, or family members through questionnaires, providing a comprehensive picture of strengths and challenges.
Step 3 -Â Detailed Feedback and Next Steps
After the assessment, we’ll meet with you to explain the findings and provide a full written report. This report will highlight the diagnosis, strengths, and areas where support is needed, applicable for NDIS applications, educational planning, or guiding further treatment and intervention. We’ll also discuss recommendations for next steps, whether that involves therapy, workplace adjustments, or additional resources to help you or your child thrive.
