About this resource
Autism Spectrum Disorder, often referred to as autism, is a neurobiological disorder that prevents people from understanding what they see, hear or sense.
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects reasoning, social interaction and communication. It can affect the functioning and development of the brain and is usually evident before a child turns three years old. It is a spectrum disorder, which means there is a wide variation in how it affects children.
Complex Developmental Behavioural Conditions
The Complex Developmental Behavioural Conditions (CDBC) program's diagnostic assessment services are intended for children and youth who have significant difficulties in multiple areas of function including those with known or suspected history of exposures to substances with neurodevelopmental effects. Referral from pediatricians or child psychiatrists is required (with exceptions based on access).
