States where it's easier to find an adult ASD psychiatrist?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been rewatching Parenthood and thinking about how Hank was able to see Max's psychiatrist with so little problem. It doesn't seem realistic since I can't find ANY psychiatrists who specialize in ASD, work with adults, and have an open practice... but then I wonder if California has more ASD specialists? I live in the midwest...

It is tough to find someone that does specialize in adults. I was only able to find one person in my home state. He wasn't an MD, but a PhD. I did see an MD prior to him (a few actually), one of whom was a psychiatrist. But none of them had any experience with ASDs.

You might be better off looking for a counselor that specializes in ASDs. And after meeting with them - they might be able to direct you towards an MD.
