puberty, anxiety, depression

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

We are looking for information on how to help our son. He has a history of

anxiety and some

depression. While it has decreased over the last several years, with the onset

of puberty, it is

back in full force.

We would like specific information in the following areas:

1) a good psychologist/counselor experienced in working with teens on the autism

spectrum

2) dietary/biomedical recommendations

3) as a last resort, medications that may be useful to help him over this

hurdle/period.

Our preference is for information based on experience and supportive research.

Some brief information about our son: 13 yo, verbal, considered " recovered "

(though we still

see residua, including anxiety, self-chat and pacing), not currently on any

specific diet or

meds. We live in Austin, TX.

Many kind thanks! &
