We have all heard of autism, but what about this specific form? This includes social, behavioral, and challenges with communication itself. Autistic Spectrum Disorder can range from mild to severe and all points in between. When it is caught early, treatment can make a huge difference in living the rest of one’s life.
The term autistic spectrum is what you may think. It covers the spectrum of autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder. Have you heard of Rett syndrome? It used to be grouped among the list of autism disorders, but now it is considered to be caused by genetic mutation. So, it is no longer considered an ASD.
As we said at the top, early treatment is vital! When you and your child meet with Dr. Steven Sussman you are beginning the journey with one of New York and New Jersey’s renowned Autistic Spectrum Disorder doctors. Please make an appointment at the office closest to you on Staten Island or in Mountainside NJ by calling (908) 217-8106.
