On the Spectrum.

These are three words that we never heard together just a generation ago.  Today being “on the spectrum” implies autistic spectrum disorder, but knowing where your child falls within that spectrum is vital.  The huge misconception is that all children who are diagnosed with ASD have virtually the same symptoms.

In fact, about the only similarities children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder have in common are symptoms which are a direct result of the neurological disorder itself.  You may be looking for a lack or absence of communication skills, stereotyped or repetitive behaviors and difficulty or lack of interpersonal or social skills.  Does any of that sound familiar?

As the concept of autistic spectrum disorder has changed and its treatment methods have evolved, Dr. Steven Sussman has evolved as well.  Over the decades he continues to understand more and more about ASD as studies become more advanced.  A noted New York and New Jersey child psychologist, Dr. Sussman wants to help your family.  If you have experienced the issues listed above call him today for a consultation at his Mountainside, NJ office.  That phone number is (908) 217-8106.
