Éric Billon
M.D. Psychiatrist and child Psychiatrist C.M.Q.,
Founder of the Clinique d’Évaluation de l’Autisme de Montréal

As a psychiatrist and child psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience specializing in autism diagnosis and follow-up, he created the Montreal Autism Assessment Clinic in 2017.

With a wealth of experience in child psychiatry in the region, structuring the autism network in Martinique and his practice in adult psychiatry at CHUM, he intends to develop adapted and innovative services for families by integrating Information and Communication Technologies into his team's practice. Indeed, the possibility of accessing services for people with ASDs depends on the establishment of a precise diagnosis that is well supported by recognized tools and sufficient clinical experience to identify signs that are sometimes difficult to pinpoint.

Particularly concerned about the risk of increased sequelae due to delayed diagnosis in young children, he ensures that their evaluation is given priority within the team. As CEVAM's medical director, his constant concern is to provide a supportive welcome to patients and families at this sensitive time, and to maintain a high level of professionalism.
