with Asperger’s Syndrome
Asperger’s affects about 13 out of every 10,000 children, impacting social and emotional intelligence. Individuals often prefer solitude, creating a safety net in a fantasy world. When they feel unsafe, symptoms like anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and social avoidance can emerge. At United Psychological Services, we offer support for individuals of all ages dealing with Asperger’s. Our team includes a specialist in the field, testing for Aspergers and Autism for adults and children.
