Autism Diagnosis in Kansas City, Missouri

Where to get an autism evaluation in the Kansas City metro, what the process looks like, and how to start help before a formal diagnosis is in hand.

Getting an autism evaluation in Kansas City usually means Children's Mercy or a private practice locally, or the University of Missouri's Thompson Center in Columbia. Waits can be long, so it's worth starting more than one path at once — and for young children, you don't need a diagnosis to begin getting help.
