If you are wondering whether your child is autistic, waiting a year for answers should not be part of it. I provide comprehensive autism and neurodevelopmental evaluations for children, teens, and young adults ages 2 to 21, currently scheduling within 4 to 6 weeks rather than the 12-plus-month waits common at Oklahoma's institutional clinics. This is an evaluation practice rather than a therapy practice. What I offer is diagnostic clarity: a thorough developmental history, direct assessment with the gold-standard instruments relied on in academic medicine, a plain-language feedback conversation, and a full written report that schools, physicians, and insurers act on. Evaluations are built around play and paced to the child. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Health Service Provider in Oklahoma, and also a Licensed Professional Counselor. I formerly held the Oxley Foundation Chair in Child Psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma, where I trained physicians in autism diagnosis, and I co-authored the state's guidance on identifying autism. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt (TRIAD) and hold research-reliability certification on the ADOS-2. I take particular care with complex pictures: girls and teens whose differences were missed or masked at school, co-occurring anxiety or trauma, second opinions, and results that never added up. Begin with a free 15-minute consultation, booked online at caprettopsych.com, and we will decide the next step together.
