Do you ever notice things about your child while they play, interact or communicate? Maybe you are unsure if a diagnostic assessment is needed, but you wish you could chat with a doctor? We’re here to help!
A few quick reminders about As You Are:
Our physicians help determine if your child’s behaviors are best explained by autism or another diagnosis, equipping you with the knowledge and resources needed to help your child flourish.

Getting an official autism diagnosis is critical for families to expedite treatment and care during their child’s short development window, and As You Are is a virtual clinic that is becoming a game changer in the race for evaluations. NBC’s Blayne Alexander reports for TODAY.

Every family gets an individual benefits investigation before the first appointment to understand the potential cost
Theresa Starke’s 4-year-old son, Calvin, has spent half of his life on a waitlist for an autism evaluation. Feeling the ripple effects and being overwhelmed she turned to the internet. She typed the words “Families dealing with autism and where to find help” and discovered As You Are. “It was like having the Empire State building taken off my shoulders,” says Theresa Starke. Read the full story.
Our evaluation process is complete in three individual telehealth video appointments, including a clinical interview, standardized behavioral observation and results appointment. During the results discussion, our physicians will discuss their findings and provide recommendations and/or diagnoses that are most appropriate for your child. Not all children will receive a diagnosis of autism.
Examples of other diagnoses children could receive include: Expressive speech delay, Receptive speech delay, Sensory processing disorder, Generalized anxiety, Global developmental delay.
Together, we can help families better understand whether the symptoms they are seeing are best explained by an autism diagnosis or another diagnosis, guiding them to the best next steps.
We work with commercial insurance plans, TRICARE, traditional state Medicaid plans and managed care partners. We are constantly expanding our relationships as we grow. And, as a part of our process, our support team will review a child’s insurance benefits with their parent or guardian before the first appointment.
