What is autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction, combined with a history of restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviour or interests. Differences in sensory processing are also frequently observed, with heightened or reduced sensitivity to different sensory input, or interest in certain sensory aspects of the environment.

While these traits are present from the early developmental period, symptoms and associated impacts may not fully manifest until social demands increase or they may be masked by learned strategies later in life. Autism represents a natural variation of the human experience and is one form of neurodiversity.

Although autism is considered a lifelong diagnosis, it exists on a spectrum. Each individual presents with their unique strengths and challenges, and support needs can vary significantly from one individual to another and can fluctuate depending on the environment and circumstances.

Why consider an autism assessment?

An autism assessment can provide diagnostic clarity around presenting symptoms and open the door for individualized supports. In BC, children and youth ages 6 -18 who receive a formal diagnosis of autism by a Qualified Specialist (QS) are eligible to receive funding up to $6,000 per year that can go towards individualized supports. A health care provider can help guide whether an ASD assessment may be indicated based your youth’s presentation.

How is an assessment obtained?

BC Autism Assessment Network (BCAAN) provides free diagnostic assessments by Qualified Specialists for children up to age 19, and there are regional assessment networks throughout the province. In Prince George, diagnostic assessments for autism are completed through the Northern Health Assessment Network (NHAN) and require a referral from a health care provider. Approximate wait times for an ASD assessment through NHAN have increased to 3-4 years with recent volume of referrals received.

Private autism assessments are available at various locations throughout the province, and costs vary. Our clinic offers private autism assessments in Prince George for youth ages 10-19 with developed language skills. Current wait times are 1-2 months and assessments are completed by Dr. Michelle Waller, who holds her designation as a Qualified Specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions

The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary.
