- Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition. It impacts communication, behavior and social interactions. Each person with the spectrum has their own strengths, requiring personalized care.
At KNK Mental Health Services LLC, we provide evaluations, therapeutic support and skill development programs. We help people with autism gain independence. Our focus is on improving daily living skills.
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a lifelong condition that starts in early childhood. It alters one’s learning, communication and social interaction with others. Each individual with autism possesses unique characteristics.
Some people can be a little more dependent, while others can cope with many things themselves but struggle with social situations or loud places.
Characteristics of ASD
People with ASD may:
- Find it hard to talk and make friends
- Repeat actions or like the same things a lot
