It might be the same outfit every single day, a meltdown over a small change, or an adult lifetime of quietly working harder than everyone around you. Whatever brought you here, Core Spring evaluates autism in Hales Corners for every age, with one psychologist guiding the whole evaluation from start to finish. You can schedule directly, no referral needed.
We look at communication, social connection, sensory experience, and how change feels day to day. Each evaluation opens with a clinical interview, moves into gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2, and gathers input from the people who know you or your child best. Pacing is individualized, never locked to a set schedule, and the report follows in about two to three weeks with a feedback session covering results, any diagnosis, and clear next steps. Because comorbidities like ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences often overlap with autism, every evaluation screens broadly. When concerns run wider, the comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is the right next step.
Kids with delayed speech, picky eating, the same outfit every day, repetitive behaviors like hand flapping, or big reactions to small changes.
Teens dealing with social isolation, missed nonverbal cues, sensory overwhelm at school, rigid routines, or intense focused interests.
Adults exhausted from years of masking, recognizing childhood quirks as possible autism, and finally ready for clarity in relationships and work.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a complete personal history, from childhood experiences through your current daily life. Many adults and children seeking an autism evaluation have spent years wondering why certain things feel harder or different for them, and this conversation creates the foundation for identifying which assessments will be most revealing.
Based on your clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of autism-specific assessments. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. You may also be sent home with self-report questionnaires, and if you choose, someone close to you (a partner, parent, or close friend) can complete their own questionnaire to provide additional perspective. Screeners for ADHD and executive function are included as standard, since these commonly co-occur with autism.
Your psychologist compiles all testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into a detailed diagnostic report. Any co-occurring conditions identified during the evaluation (ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other concerns) are fully documented so you leave with a complete understanding of your neurodivergent profile.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the diagnosis and provides individualized recommendations: practical strategies for work and daily life, therapy or coaching resources, workplace accommodations guidance, and next steps tailored to your specific situation.
A screening is a brief checklist that flags potential concerns. A comprehensive evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics includes a clinical interview, cognitive and executive function baseline testing, gold-standard autism tools like the ADOS-2, caregiver questionnaires, and screening for co-occurring conditions. The result is a detailed report with diagnostic conclusions and individualized recommendations.
Executive function skills, including planning, organization, flexible thinking, and impulse control, are often affected in individuals with autism. Starting every evaluation with a cognitive and executive function baseline gives the psychologist context for understanding how autism-related patterns interact with daily functioning, learning, and self-regulation.
Yes. Many adults reach adulthood without a diagnosis, especially if they developed masking behaviors or were identified with a different condition. Core Spring Diagnostics uses clinical interviewing and gold-standard assessment tools to identify autism in adults, even when childhood records are limited or unavailable.
The feedback session is a meeting with the psychologist who conducted the evaluation. During this session, results are reviewed, diagnoses are explained, and recommendations are discussed. Parents, partners, or other support people can attend. It is an opportunity to ask questions and plan next steps.
The evaluation report includes specific, individualized recommendations that therapists use to guide treatment. These may cover ABA therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social skills development, and sensory strategies. Therapists can use the report as a baseline for setting goals and measuring progress.
Yes. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates children across all ages, including those under five. For younger children, the evaluation process is adjusted to be developmentally appropriate, with pacing tailored to the child’s attention span and comfort level. Early identification opens the door to timely intervention and support.
