No two people on the spectrum look alike, so your evaluation should never feel like a template. In Racine, one psychologist owns the entire autism evaluation for children, teens, and adults, never rushed and built around the concerns you actually walked in with. Reach out directly whenever you are ready, no referral required.
We build a layered picture of how a person communicates, connects with others, handles routine and sensory input, and moves through daily life, with developmental history woven in. The point is to understand the patterns that brought you in and how they shape relationships, learning, and home. Each evaluation opens with a foundational baseline, adds gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2, and screens for common companions like ADHD so the picture stays full instead of narrow. One psychologist carries it the whole way through, with no fixed timeline.
Kids stuck on the same outfit, hand flapping, picky eating, delayed speech, limited eye contact, or big reactions to routine changes.
Teens dealing with social isolation, missed nonverbal cues, sensory overwhelm at school, rigid routines, intense interests, or executive function struggles.
Adults worn out from years of masking, recognizing childhood quirks they now wonder about, and ready for tools and clarity about themselves.
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.
One licensed psychologist owns the entire evaluation from intake through feedback. There are no handoffs to psychometrists or other providers. The same psychologist conducts the clinical interview, administers testing, scores results, and delivers findings, giving you continuity and clinical depth throughout the process.
Yes. Co-occurring conditions like ADHD are common alongside autism, and Core Spring Diagnostics screens for them as a standard part of every autism evaluation. Rather than sending you to separate providers, the evaluation includes cognitive testing, executive function assessment, and ADHD-specific measures alongside autism tools like the ADOS-2, so the full picture is captured in one process.
Parents frequently reach out after noticing delayed speech, limited eye contact, repetitive behaviors like hand flapping, sensory sensitivities, picky eating, difficulty with transitions, or a strong attachment to specific routines. These signs can appear as early as 18 months, and an evaluation can clarify whether autism is present and what the next steps should be.
Yes. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates children, teenagers, and adults for autism. The approach is individualized based on age and developmental stage. Children typically go through a clinical interview and multi-session testing process, while adult evaluations are structured around a focused interview and testing block. Teens are assessed with attention to the social, sensory, and executive function challenges unique to that age group.
The report includes a summary of clinical findings, diagnostic conclusions, cognitive and executive function results, and individualized recommendations. Recommendations cover school accommodations, therapy options (such as ABA, OT, or speech), home strategies, and next-step services. The report is designed to be handed directly to schools, therapists, and other care providers.
Availability varies depending on current scheduling. You can call Core Spring Diagnostics at (414) 387-2100 or submit a consultation request through the website to discuss timing and get on the schedule. The team will help match the right evaluation path to your specific concerns.
