Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Message-based Psychology offers a new perspective with respect to Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD): all signs and symptoms of the disorder follow from a single cognitive deficiency. While neurotypical people interact with their environment relying on similarities and analogies to what they are already familiar with, people on the Spectrum have difficulty disregarding the details that make the current situation different from what they saw before. This realization opens new approaches to helping such people to adjust better, become more productive, and ultimately, thrive. By identifying and making full use of their other cognitive functions, we help our clients use their strengths such as strong logic and attention to details to compensate for their weaknesses. We unite our efforts with Rutgers University to provide more clinical studies in this area.
