Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how an individual communicate, behave, and interact with others. It is called a spectrum disorder because the symptoms can vary widely from person to person and can range from mild to severe, including difficulties with social interactions, repetitive behaviors, and delayed speech or language skills. Each individual’s experience with autism is different, making it essential to work with a psychiatrist who understands the complexities of the condition.
At our clinic in Sugar Land, we provide personalized care plans to address the specific symptoms and challenges that come with autism.
