Axis for Autism

Top Arizona executive: Christine Ehrich, founder and CEO

What it does: Diagnostic autism evaluations

Admirable trait: Axis for Autism cuts the wait time for evaluations from more than a year to fewer than 60 days, even in rural areas. In fact, Axis for Autism can conduct up to 500 evaluations each month ― or 6,000 a year.

Customer opinion: To help families at every stage of the autism journey, the company formed the Axis Parent Alliance. The Alliance connects families with a support system of parents, caregivers and clinicians who understand the unique experiences and challenges of autism. It provides emotional support and a sense of community, a wealth of valuable resources and advice, opportunities for socialization and friendship and ongoing opportunities to connect with Axis for Autism’s experts for extra support.
