Our Mission

We’re building a world‑class virtual clinic that dramatically expands access to early autism diagnosis, helping ensure every family has the tools they need for their children to flourish.

Our Values

Your Child is Awesome

Celebrating their strengths, individuality, and everything that makes them shine.

True Expertise

Guidance from certified specialists you can trust, every step of the way.

Compassionate Support

Care that listens, understands, and stands beside your family.

For The Community

Building accessible, inclusive care that supports families everywhere.

Our Story

As You Are is a team of neurodevelopmental physicians who guide families with clear, compassionate expertise. We give parents the knowledge they need to help their children thrive.

Early, accurate diagnosis opens the door to effective therapy. Our virtual clinic shortens wait times so children can begin building new skills sooner.

Our specialists provide thorough evaluations for autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions and create personalized care plans—all from the comfort of home.

Families also receive help from a Care Sidekick who supports them in accessing services after diagnosis. *Availability may vary by state and insurance.

We believe every child has unique strengths, and we bring that belief to our work every day.

Meet with a dedicated physician from the start, so you can get answers sooner. Early diagnosis helps your child thrive.
