Who does the diagnosis?
The assessment team may require a health professional (paediatrician, child and adolescent psychiatrist and/or psychologist) or a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals with allied health professionals (for example a paediatrician and a speech pathologist, psychologist and/or occupational therapist).
A typical multidisciplinary team usually consists of a paediatrician (or a child and adolescent psychiatrist), a psychologist, and a speech therapist. However, other medical practitioners or allied health specialists may contribute their expertise as needed.
In instances where the signs of autism are evident, a sole healthcare provider may be capable of making a diagnosis.
For children with ambiguous symptoms or those with coexisting conditions that complicate the diagnosis, a team-based approach is necessary, where multiple specialist and allied health appointments are involved to complete a diagnosis and report.
