Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve outcomes for people with autism. One primary mode of intervention is occupational therapy (OT) for autism, which can play a unique role in helping individuals with ASD live more fully and independently.

An OT cannot diagnose ASD. This can only be done by a psychologist or a doctor. An OT cannot make any diagnosis; they can describe function and speak about development.
