Autism
Evidence-based assessment and personalised, family-centred support.
Autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a difference in how a child communicates, interacts, and experiences the world. It's a spectrum — every autistic child is different, with their own strengths and challenges.
Autism is not an illness to be “cured.” The goal of assessment and support is understanding: helping your child thrive as themselves, and giving your family the tools and confidence to support them.
What parents often notice
- •Differences in eye contact, gestures or responding to their name
- •Delayed speech, or unusual use of language
- •Strong preference for routine, and distress at change
- •Repetitive movements or intense, focused interests
- •Finding social interaction or play with other children difficult
Every child is different, and noticing one or two of these doesn't mean your child has autism. If you're unsure, an assessment brings clarity.

Common questions
At what age can autism be assessed?
Signs can appear in the early years, and assessment is possible from a young age. If you have concerns at any age, an assessment brings clarity and access to support.
Is there a “cure” for autism?
Autism is a lifelong difference, not a disease to cure. Support focuses on understanding, communication and helping your child thrive as themselves.
Will a diagnosis help my child?
For many families, understanding brings access to the right support at home and school, and reduces stress. We talk through what an assessment can and can't offer before you decide.
Where we can see your child
Autism assessment and support is available at every geniuslane centre, and online wherever you are.
