What this is, in plain language
Rush's AARTS Center offers autism diagnosis and treatment for children, teens and adults, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, social skills groups, medication management for co-occurring conditions, and school consultation.
Getting started
Evaluation runs three to four appointments — an intake interview, testing, and a feedback session — after which the team provides a written report with diagnosis and care recommendations; some added services such as school consultation or neuropsychological testing require a separate referral.
Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

- Evaluation typically spans three to four appointments — intake, testing, and a feedback visit — before the team shares a written diagnosis and care plan.
- Rush is one of the few Illinois health systems that also diagnoses and treats teenagers and adults with autism, not only children.
- Treatment options include cognitive-behavioural therapy for individuals or families, social skills groups (including PEERS for teens), medication management for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, and school consultation, which requires a referral from the school.
- Re-evaluations are offered around major transitions, such as starting kindergarten, middle school or high school, though most people don't need them after entering adulthood.
