Asperger Syndrome/Autism
Asperger’s Disorder or Asperger Syndrome (AS) may have been removed from the DSM-V, but that doesn’t mean Aspergians or “Aspies” have disappeared. Many individuals with AS identify themselves after learning about autism from the media or having a family member diagnosed.
Dr. Endlich has extensive knowledge of autism spectrum disorder, and can help:
Parents – obtain support, understanding, and resources
Siblings – develop awareness and coping skills
People on the spectrum – cope better with life’s challenges
Dr. Endlich has co-led Asperger support groups at the Asperger/Autism Network and co-wrote a book on older autistic adults, based on an international survey of 150 individuals and published by AAPC. He founded Top College Consultants to help high school students (especially those who are autistic) with the college admissions and transition process.
