I provide diagnostic services for individuals suspected of having autism spectrum disorder, ASD (formerly called Aspergers Disorder). This includes diagnostic services for children under 19 to obtain ministry funding and qualify for school-based support services.
Additionally I see many adults for suspected autism disorder, and have worked with adults with ASD or "Asperger's" for over 25 years. This includes working on issues of social cognition, social learning, employment, higher education and various legal issues.
I have served as the behaviour management specialist for several school districts, worked as a teacher of children with autism, as a school psychologist and as a clinical psychologist in the field. The focus of much of my work is on "social learning" and applying the techniques and methods of Michelle Garcia Winner to adults. I advise all parents, teens and adults dealing with issues in this area to look over Mitchell's wonderful site and her curriculum materials at www.socialthinking.com
