Asperger's Syndrome Diagnostic Interview

The Asperger’s Syndrome Diagnostic Interview is a structured conversation used by professionals to assess whether someone exhibits characteristics typical of Asperger’s, a form of autism. The interview explores areas like social interactions, communication skills, interests, and behaviors. The goal is to gather detailed information about how the person relates to others, processes information, and manages routines. This helps clinicians determine if the person meets the criteria for Asperger’s and guides appropriate support or interventions. It's a thorough process designed to understand strengths and challenges within a respectful, person-centered approach.
