Autism
Autism
At DSC, we never stop at noting stereotyped movements, weak communication, or sensory sensitivities. We begin instead with a multidimensional diagnosis — organic, sensory, developmental, neurological, psychological, behavioral, linguistic, and social — to confirm the true source according to the DSM-5-TR, ICD-11/CDDR, NICE guidelines, AAP, and the Australian guidelines.
We take into account that any of these signs may or may not be a core feature of autism.
A sign may, for example, stem from a co-occurring condition, anxiety, a feeding or sleep disorder, another diagnosis that resembles autism without being autism, or an acquired, modifiable behavioral issue. Based on this comprehensive differential diagnosis, we build an integrated treatment plan that addresses each cause according to its nature — communicative, linguistic, sensory, organic, functional, or behavioral.
We do not treat “autism” as one general label, nor do we isolate each sign from the others. Instead, we design one integrated plan that treats the real causes and indicators together, each with the intervention suited to it and under the supervision of the relevant specialist. Progress is measured periodically across communication, learning, self-regulation, and independence.
