Personality Assessments for Autism | Cadabams CDC
Every parent wants to understand their child—especially when certain behaviours seem “different.” Personality assessments for autism give you the clarity you need, quickly and compassionately. At Cadabams CDC, we combine science-based tools with family-centred care, guiding parents from the first question to the final therapy plan.

Tools & Scales We Use
We never rely on a single test. Instead, we blend multiple evidence-based measures:
- ADOS-2 observation session—structured play and conversation tasks that reveal social-communication patterns
- Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS-2)—quick clinician rating that quantifies severity across 15 domains
- Developmental interview with parents—focuses on milestones, sensory behaviors, and personality traits
Each tool is selected or adapted for your child’s age and language level.
