Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social communication and repetitive behaviors.
Individuals with ASD may exhibit symptoms that can include difficulties in understanding and interpreting social cues, forming relationships, and may engage in repetitive movements or have intense interests in specific topics.
​
The spectrum nature of ASD means that individuals can vary widely in their strengths and challenges. Individuals with ASD may also have other co-existing conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or mood disorders.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for providing support and tools to help individuals with ASD thrive. At Palm Tree Psychiatry, we recognize the unique needs of individuals with ASD and offer a comprehensive approach to treatment, including medication and therapy for patients and/or families.
