Who can diagnose autism in children?
A formal autism diagnosis must be made by a qualified healthcare provider. While screening tools like the M-CHAT-R and CAST can highlight potential signs of autism, a diagnosis requires an in-person evaluation—often using tools like the ADOS-2. After the assessment, Intercare sends the results to your child’s doctor, who reviews them to determine if the diagnostic criteria are met or if further testing is needed.
