Texas Children’s
AUTISM CENTER
The Autism Center at Texas
Children's Hospital sees patients with autistic spectrum disorders or those
suspected of having autism. The center provides diagnosis of autism and
related conditions.
The Autism Center is a multidisciplinary effort of Neurology and
Developmental Neuroscience in collaboration with the departments of
Psychiatry, Psychology and Developmental Pediatrics. Working together,
experts from these fields will conduct an extensive evaluation to form a
diagnosis and a plan of intervention and therapy.
Common signs of autism include problems with social interaction, problems
communicating with others and playing at developmentally appropriate levels,
and a tendency to repeat the same actions over and over again. Early
diagnosis is important for children with autism so that specific life skills
may be taught.
Neurological evaluations for the Autism Center are conducted on Wednesdays.
