You have watched your toddler line up toys instead of playing with them, or seen your teen come home wrung out after an ordinary school day, and you want to understand what is really going on. Core Spring's autism evaluations in Kenosha look closely at children, teens, and adults, with one psychologist guiding the whole process from the first conversation to the final recommendations. You can reach out directly, no referral needed.
We look at how a person connects, communicates, handles change, and takes in the world around them, alongside the developmental history that led here. From there the evaluation moves into gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2, and the same psychologist guides the interview, testing, scoring, and feedback for every Kenosha family, at a pace that fits the person rather than a schedule.
Children showing delayed speech, picky eating, hand flapping, intense routines, sensory sensitivities, or big reactions to small changes.
Teens dealing with social isolation, difficulty reading nonverbal cues, rigid routines, highly focused interests, or sensory overwhelm at school.
Adults who have spent years masking, recognizing childhood quirks as possible autism, and finally seeking real answers and clear support.
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.
An autism evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics starts with a clinical interview to gather developmental and personal history, followed by cognitive and executive function testing and autism-specific assessment using tools like the ADOS-2. Questionnaires are sent to parents, teachers, and relevant caregivers. One psychologist manages every step, and the process wraps with a detailed report and a feedback session covering findings and individualized recommendations.
A developmental evaluation focuses on whether a child is meeting age-appropriate milestones, while a neuropsychological evaluation goes deeper into cognitive function, executive skills, and behavioral patterns. At Core Spring Diagnostics, every autism assessment includes a cognitive and executive function baseline alongside autism-specific testing, giving you a layered understanding that goes beyond surface-level developmental checks.
Yes. Autism in teens often looks different from childhood presentations. Signs can include social isolation, difficulty reading nonverbal cues, sensory overwhelm at school, rigid routines, and intensely focused interests. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates teens with the same individualized, one-psychologist approach used for children and adults, ensuring the assessment captures how autism shows up at this stage of development.
Core Spring Diagnostics uses gold-standard instruments including the ADOS-2, alongside cognitive and executive function measures, behavior rating scales, and caregiver questionnaires. The specific combination of tools is tailored to each individual’s age, concerns, and clinical presentation. Every evaluation also includes screening for co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences.
Yes. Every autism evaluation ends with a comprehensive written report that details findings, any diagnoses, and individualized recommendations. The report is designed to be shared with schools, therapists, and other providers. You also attend a feedback session where the psychologist walks through the results and discusses next steps.
Common signs that prompt parents to seek an autism evaluation include delayed speech, limited eye contact, hand flapping, picky eating, sensory sensitivities, big reactions to small routine changes, and a strong preference for predictable patterns. If you are noticing these patterns and want clarity, an evaluation can determine whether autism is present and what supports would help.
