Autism Spectrum

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, not an illness to be cured. People on the spectrum often experience the world more intensely, in their senses, their attention to detail, their honesty, their need for predictability, and their relationship with social interaction. For some children, signs appear early; for many adults, especially women, the diagnosis arrives much later, after years of quiet masking, exhaustion, anxiety and self-doubt. A thoughtful evaluation matters because autism rarely travels alone: anxiety, ADHD, depression, sensory difficulties and sleep problems frequently sit alongside it and are very treatable. Care here focuses on understanding the individual, supporting the family, treating co-occurring conditions, and building an environment, at home, school or work, that lets strengths lead and reduces the daily friction of living in a world not built for every kind of mind.
