The Effect of the Pandemic on ASD.

The COVID-19 lockdown will have both short-term and long-term psychosocial and mental health implications for children. That much is certain. Children with autism may have some very specific needs for support that others do not have because of their difficulties in social interaction. Child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman wants to help your kids reintegrate.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects perhaps up to 10% of children in the Metropolitan area of New York and New Jersey. Numbers such as that must not be ignored! You know some of the signs…social communication challenges, deficits in social interaction, and some disruptive patterns of behavior, activities, and interests.

Dr. Steven Sussman, a child psychologist in Mountainside, NJ, hopes to help you with ASD and other psychological afflictions that may have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Now may be the right time to call Dr. Steve at (908) 217-8106. His fascinating story is further told at sussmankids.com.
