Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

It is a relatively new term in child psychology as we learn more and more about our youth. These days we conveniently use the term he or she is “on the spectrum.” To say that types of ASDs can vary in severity is a bit like saying your cold can vary in severity. No matter what, as a parent you want to get your arms around it NOW!


New York/New Jersey child psychologist, Dr. Steven Sussman, advises that you look for these signs –

1.  Interaction with other kids is erratic.

2.  Your child has difficulty expressing emotion.

3.  They may have problems with the spoken word.

4.  Has your child been resistant to any changes or things out of place?

5.  You will notice that their eye contact is very poor.

Of course, there are many other signs that your kid is on the spectrum. Dr. Steven Sussman has spent years helping moms and dads in New York and New Jersey with issues such as ASD. Why not call Dr. Steve at his Mountainside, NJ office at (908) 217-8106 and discuss your particular situation? You will learn a great deal at sussmankids.com.
