What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive or restricted behaviors and interests. It manifests differently in each individual, leading to a wide range of abilities and difficulties. The exact causes of autism are not fully understood, but it is believed to involve genetic and environmental factors. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes and help individuals with autism lead fulfilling lives.
Our Approach To Autism
Our approach to autism emphasizes understanding, acceptance, and empowerment, fostering a supportive environment that celebrates the unique strengths and perspectives of individuals on the spectrum. By prioritizing tailored therapies we can help autistic individuals thrive and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is managed through a combination of therapies tailored to individual needs, such as behavioral therapies, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills training. Medication may also be prescribed to address co-occurring conditions like anxiety or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Early intervention and support for families can significantly improve outcomes, emphasizing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to enhance communication, social skills, and overall quality of life.
How Effective is Treatment?
The effectiveness of autism treatment varies widely based on factors such as the individual’s age, the severity of symptoms, and the specific interventions used. Early intervention programs, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), have shown positive outcomes in improving communication, social skills, and behavioral functioning. While treatments may help many individuals lead more fulfilling lives, responses can differ, making personalized approaches essential for optimal results.

Having seen previous physicians, I can state with certainty that Dr. Adigun provides care and attention to detail that go above and beyond what I would anticipate from a new physician. For the first time, I felt that a skilled doctor who was present and actively involved in my care was paying attention to my worries. Personalized care is a welcome change in a field where it is frequently absent. I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone in need of high-quality mental health care.
