Does anyone have any suggestions for the Columbus, Ohio area  ? I saw Cleveland, but that is about 2 1/2hours away.

Im a adult with Asperger's in Sth Australia. I got diagnosed by Autism SA (one of the rare places which does both adult and children diagnoses!).
I didnt need to get a referal as one can self refer there. Waiting list was 8mths (i dont know if they see children quicker than adults). Cost was $400? or $600? Aussie dollars. (i think it went out).
They gave me a full report for this and if one isnt likely to have Asperger's.. they will tell one that after one gets all their (very long) questionaire forms they send out sent back, (in which case one then doesnt have to pay .. they only do assessment if by the forms, it appears one could possibly have or is likely to have Asperger's). |

Thank you for this post! Anyone in Toronto or Ontario know there is a 12-16 month wait list, a 100.00 fee for assessment materials and you require a referral from your family dr or ped. |

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but the UK's NAS (National Autistic Society) is really great - highly recommend. 5 stars
For myself, I am a PhD student & NAS actually has a representative on campus weekly.

Illinois, highly highly recommend the Pediatric Development center at Illinois Masonic hospital in Chicago.
The Dr I mentioned earlier in the thread actually insisted I take my daughter there where they have a specialized autism clinic and can do a thorough evaluation. They do have waiting lists but it is a really great place. I've also had a few others recommend IL Masonic (I think someone here may have).
No particular Dr, we saw several for different areas during the evaluation, and have a referral ready. |

I did a search for the Chicago area and found only one reference, forgive me if this has been posted before. We are getting excellent care from the Pediatric Developmental Center at Illinois Masonic Hospital: http://www.advocatehealth.com/immc/body.cfm?id=139
They are a comprehensive program which includes not only a pediatric neurologist, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers - but also speech therapists and OT in the same building. The intake took a couple of visits, but we were referred for testing, and they did the ADOS and a speech test within a month or so - and gave us results that were easy to understand. They also have a multilingual staff with a particular focus on Spanish (they of course also speak English.) Our insurance recognizes them as in-network, and covers most of the costs.
Fair warning: I am sure this is the case with any program that works with kids on the spectrum, but when it's busy, the waiting room is NOISY. If your child is sensitive to noise and chaos, have a plan for the waiting room.
