Autism Spectrum Disorder Couples Counselors in Windsor, Connecticut

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition that affects the way people communicate, interact socially, and behave. The disorder impacts how people function to varying degrees, which is why the word spectrum is used. Although the diagnostic features of ASD are present from childhood, some people are not diagnosed with autism until they are an adult.

The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder requires specialized assessment, usually involving a team of health professionals. Therapy is usually targeted, highly structured, and aims to help individuals cope better and function at their best. Providers might focus on building positive behaviors and decreasing unhelpful behaviors through a common evidence-based therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Another common focus in therapy is skills training for communication, social interaction, and academic or occupational participation. Couples counselors can also help people with ASD who are experiencing symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, with the use of various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
