Knowing someone or a family member with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or dealing with it yourself, can be very lonely. Add that ASD presents in unique and different ways, and you also have a high chance of being misunderstood. However, ASD does not have to prevent you from living life. Working with families to learn techniques toward real functional change and behavioral improvements is what we do at LSW Psychological Services.
