← Back to Autism Diagnosis & Health
Here are various options for seeking out a diagnosis of autism:
Psychologists
Can diagnose autism. They provide an assessment report and a diagnosis for a fee (typically $1000 and up). Psychologists’ services are usually an out-of-pocket service or covered by private extended health care benefits such as your employer’s. Our list is only a portion of the number of psychologists that can provide this service, so feel free to research other names. We have a list of psychologists who provide assessments and diagnosis to adults. To see the full list click here
Medical Doctors
These professionals can include family doctors, can diagnose a condition if they have the expertise.
Psychiatrists
Psychiatrists with expertise in autism can also diagnose. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they are, therefore, covered by our provincial health insurance. You can request a referral to a psychiatrist from your family doctor. Your doctor’s office can contact Access Mental Health and there may be a psychiatrist available in private practice.
