Autism
Having trouble interacting with others because you don’t understand social interaction very well. As a result, you may have few or no friends.
Experiencing difficulties with changes or days without structure.
Knowing a lot about very specific topics, you know so many interesting facts about those topics that you can keep talking about them for a very long time.
It is complicated to understand the feelings and emotions of other people.
Not understanding jokes, while others are laughing.
Being really sensitive of loud noises, being fascinated by spinning objects, or being unbothered by hot or cold temperatures.
These are all symptoms of children with autism. But not every person with autism has all of the symptoms listed above. That’s what makes it so complicated to diagnose autism.
Psychodiagnostic examination can be used to determine whether or not autism is present. Besides a few tests with the child itself, we will ask parents and teachers to fill out some questionnaires. Sometimes an observation at school is deemed necessary. The parent(s)/guardian(s) of the child will receive the final diagnostic report after the examination.
Some children already received been diagnosed with autism in the past, but find it difficult to handle their autism in the present. For those children, we offer a variety of specialized treatments. Together we will decide which treatment would be best for your child, depending on the situation and the wishes. Besides, we offer psycho-education to parents (an explanation of what is going on).
