What is an  Autism Test?

Scribbled Underline

An autism test is a structured assessment that helps identify if a child may be showing signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It’s not a single “pass or fail” test,  instead, it involves observing behaviors, communication skills, and developmental patterns.

The main goal of an autism test is to understand a child’s strengths, challenges, and needs. Early detection can open the door to timely therapy and support, which can make a huge difference in a child’s growth and learning journey.

Purpose of the Test

An autism test usually involves a mix of questionnaires, direct interaction with the child, and input from parents or caregivers. Specialists may use tools like play-based tasks and observation to see how a child responds socially and emotionally.

How It Works

A diagnostic test determines whether a child has autism and its severity. An assessment focuses on skills; mapping a child’s strengths, current developmental level, and any gaps. At EAV, we offer in-house skill-based assessments and connect families with doctors on our clinical panel for diagnostic tests.

Test vs. Assessment

Once results are in, we create a personalised therapy plan. Our evidence-based programs, like ABA, help children build communication, social, and learning skills — so they can thrive at home, in school, and in life.
