Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects how individuals communicate, interact, and experience the world. While every person with autism has unique strengths and challenges, navigating daily life, school, work, or relationships can sometimes feel overwhelming. Families, too, may face uncertainty in finding consistent, reliable support. At Reverent Health Psychiatry, we provide empathetic, individualized telehealth care in New York and Tennessee — designed to meet the needs of both individuals on the spectrum and the families who care for them.
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
ASD is a developmental condition that influences communication, social skills, and behavior. Because autism is a spectrum, experiences vary widely: some individuals may need minimal support, while others require ongoing care across multiple areas of life. Co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, or sleep issues are also common.
