Autism spectrum Disorders

Autism (Aspergers, NVLD, PDD) is a complex disorder that has unique and varied presentations. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in language development and social interaction, as well as restricted and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activity (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). One of the primary problems in autism is executive dysfunction (Dawson et al., 2008), which appears to be present in adolescence and adulthood. Proper assessment and diagnosis can lead to appropriate recommendations and successful outcomes. If you are looking for a Diagnostic Evaluations for Autism-spectrum Disorders, please contact us.
