New York Mother has Hope after Getting an Autism Evaluation for her Son in 4 Weeks versus 4 Years

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.

How It Works

Our evaluation process is complete in three individual telehealth video appointments, including a clinical interview, standardized behavioral observation and results appointment. Depending on the needs of the child, additional appointments may be required. During the results discussion, our physicians will provide a diagnosis that is most appropriate for your child. Not all children receive a diagnosis of autism because another diagnosis may be a better fit. Referrals are not required.

Other diagnoses children may 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.

Step 1

Parent or Guardian can schedule an appointment directly on AsYouAre.com. OR Providers can refer a family to As You Are at AsYouAre.com/refer, and the family will receive an email with instructions on how to get started.

Step 2

Family provides basic information like family history, development and health history using the online questionnaire.

Step 3

Family schedules the 1st of 3 appointments with their dedicated physician. Depending on the needs of the child, additional appointments may be required.
