Assessing symptoms of autism in persons with known genetic syndromes associated with intellectual and/or developmental disability is a complex clinical endeavor. We suggest that a developmental approach to evaluation is essential to reliably teasing apart global impairments from autism-specific symptomology. In this chapter, we discuss our assumptions about autism spectrum disorders, the process of conducting a family-focused, comprehensive evaluation with behaviorally complex children and some implications for intervention in persons with co-occurring autism and known genetic syndromes.
