- Repetitive behaviors (e.g., lining up toys, repeating words/phrases, etc.)
- Limited eye contact or difficulty engaging with others
- Strong reliance on routines or becoming upset with small changes
- Sensory sensitivities, such as being overwhelmed by sounds, textures, or lights
If you’re considering an autism evaluation in Orland Park, our team is here to support you. We offer virtual diagnostic testing so you can get answers sooner, and from the comfort of home.
