Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Definition
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, learns, and connects with others. It exists on a wide spectrum, which means every person on the autism spectrum has their own strengths, challenges, and pace.
At Missing Pieces, we provide psychiatric support that complements a child’s broader care team. We do not perform full autism diagnostic evaluations as a primary diagnostic service, but we work alongside psychologists, developmental pediatricians, and therapists to manage co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and mood concerns that often accompany autism.
Common signs and symptoms

Who We Treat
Supporting children, teens, and adults with compassionate psychiatric care.We partner with families and providers to deliver personalized, coordinated support.
Our Approach & Treatment Options
Our approach
Our role is psychiatric support and co-occurring condition management. We work with the diagnosis your family already has, or we coordinate referrals if formal diagnostic testing is needed.
Care typically includes treatment for co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders, conservative medication management when indicated, and family-focused planning that loops in pediatricians, schools, and therapists.
Every plan is built around the child or adult as a person, not the diagnosis. We honor strengths, communicate in plain language, and never rush a visit.
Treatment options for this condition
- • Co-occurring condition management (ADHD, anxiety, mood, sleep)
- • Conservative medication management when indicated
- • Family-centered care planning
- • School coordination and written communication to teachers when appropriate
- • Referral coordination for psychological testing, occupational therapy, and speech therapy
