Hi
Autism can only be diagnosed by a licensed clinical psychologist like me. This will require the use of standardized equipment used worldwide for such requirements.

hi,
Autism diagnosis for adults typically requires a comprehensive assessment by a qualified mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. While some initial consultations or general advice may be available through online platforms like Practo, a definitive diagnosis usually involves detailed clinical interviews, behavioral assessments, and sometimes standardized testing, which are best conducted in person for accuracy. Some professionals may offer teleconsultations, but the diagnostic process remains thorough and individualized. The charges for an adult autism diagnosis can vary depending on the professional and location, but generally, it may range from approximately â¹2,000 to â¹10,000 or more for a full assessment. Itâs advisable to consult with a licensed mental health specialist to understand the process and ensure you receive a proper diagnosis and appropriate support.
You can do an initial online consultation for autism on platforms like Practo, which helps with screening and guidance, but a formal adult diagnosis usually requires a detailed evaluation, including developmental history, behavior patterns, and structured assessments.
