How We Treat Series: How Community Psychiatric Centers Treat Adults with Autism
Adult autism is an underserved clinical population. Many adults on the spectrum went undiagnosed in childhood and are only now seeking evaluation and support. Autism Centers of Pittsburgh provides evaluation and treatment services specifically designed for adults with autism. Our approach recognizes that adult presentations often look different from childhood presentations, and that adults may have developed compensatory strategies that mask the underlying diagnosis. Treatment for adults may include psychiatric evaluation, individual therapy, social skills support, and coordination of community resources. If you're an adult who suspects you may be autistic, or a family member seeking help for an adult loved one, Autism Centers of Pittsburgh is equipped to help.
