The Autism Spectrum
The autism spectrum is just that - a varied and diverse spectrum of individuals.
Generally, autistic people share some common experiences like having difficulty with the social world. Social difficulty may represent themselves in varied ways; from slight social gaffs to larger and more complex difficulties making and sustaining mutually satisfying relationships.
Many persons with autism have communication issues that may present challenges at school, work or at home. Others who are diagnosed on the autism spectrum may struggle with debilitating anxiety, troubling sleep issues, or differences in emotional regulation.
Regardless, people with autism are first and foremost people. Each person deserves treatment that is respectful, dignified and understands the values and uniqueness of the individual. We understand that every person has value and is worthy of love.
Our treatments are designed to make each person feel happier and more confident than they did when they started.
The Family Guidance & Therapy Center offers help and support for individuals and families with loved ones on the autism spectrum in the following ways:
Live purposefully. Love fully. Grow with us!
