In order to highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, ASA has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The United States recognizes April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.
We encourage you to visit the ASA website which contains a wealth of information about living with autism.
We, the therapists at Mendel Psychological Associates, write about our experiences with clients who have Aspergers and High-Functioning Autism and about our approach to working with these unique, fascinating, challenging, rewarding children and teenagers.
Dr. Matthew Mendel, licensed psychologist, specializes in child and adolescent psychotherapy and assessment, and forensic psychology.
