Rohan is a functional medicine practitioner with over 13 years of clinical experience, focused on uncovering and treating the root causes of chronic and complex health issues rather than simply managing symptoms. He has a particular interest in gut health, using detailed clinical assessment alongside advanced functional testing, including stool and microbiome analysis, to better understand issues such as bloating, digestive irregularities, food sensitivities, and gut-related fatigue. Rohan works closely with patients who have often tried multiple approaches without success, taking time to interpret results in clear, practical language and developing personalised, realistic treatment plans that support lasting improvement rather than generic protocols.

Understanding Autism Assessments: Signs, Process and What to Expect

Autism is far more common, and far more varied in how it presents, than many people realise. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there were 290,900 Autistic Australians in 2022, a 41.8 per cent increase from 205,200 in 2018. Prevalence is higher in males than females, at 1.6 per cent compared with 0.7 per cent, though this gap has been narrowing, with the growth rate in identified autism among females considerably higher than among males between 2018 and 2022. This reflects a broader, well recognised issue, autism has historically been underdiagnosed in girls and women, partly because diagnostic tools were developed based on how autism tends to present in boys and men.

FAQs

What should I do if I think my child has autism?

If you suspect your child may have autism, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional who can evaluate their development and behaviour. Early intervention is key in helping children with autism reach their full potential, so seeking help as soon as concerns arise is important.

How is autism diagnosed?

Autism is diagnosed through a comprehensive assessment by healthcare professionals, which may include developmental screenings, behavioural evaluations, and input from parents, teachers, and caregivers. The assessment looks at a range of behaviours and developmental history.

What are the common signs of autism?

Common signs of autism include difficulties with social interactions, challenges with communication (both verbal and non-verbal), repetitive behaviours, intense interests in specific topics, and sensory sensitivities. These signs can vary widely among individuals with autism.
