Because autism is, by nature, a spectrum, symptoms and support needs vary widely—from people who live independently to those who benefit from more structured or ongoing support. An effective care plan is essential to manage symptoms, support daily functioning, and improve quality of life over time.  

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how someone communicates, interacts socially, and responds to their environment. While typically identified in childhood, many people recognize its impact well into adulthood. 

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

You’ve tried previous supports but still feel symptoms interfere with daily living.

You want support that considers both strengths and areas of challenge.

Minor changes in routine cause significant distress or anxiety.

You find repetitive behaviors or focused interests take up a lot of time.

There is sensitivity or aversion to certain sensory inputs (sounds, textures, smells).

You experience difficulty with social communication or understanding social cues.

This Treatment May Be For You If . . .

Support for autism begins with a thorough assessment to understand how autism shows up for you (or for your child) in everyday life. This includes reviewing developmental and medical history, current symptoms, and how you respond to environmental, sensory, or relational triggers.

Depending on each person’s needs, autism care may include:

  • Collaboration with families, schools, or caregivers
  • Therapy to build social, communication, and coping skills
  • Sensory or occupational supports when needed
  • Medication management for co-occurring symptoms such as anxiety or mood differences
  • Nutritional or behavioral strategies to support daily functioning
  • Telehealth and in-person options for convenience and flexibility

Through this support, our goal is to help you or your loved one build on strengths, reduce distress, and increase comfort and confidence across settings—be that at home, work, school, or in relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What signs suggest I or my child might be on the autism spectrum?

Some common signs include challenges with social interaction (making eye contact, reading social cues), sensory sensitivities (strong reactions to certain sights, sounds, or textures), strict routines, or deep interests in specific topics. It’s helpful to look for patterns across different environments (home, school, work). 

Can Peak Interactive Wellness diagnose autism?

While Peak Interactive Wellness can’t perform formal autism diagnoses (these typically require neuropsychological or psychological testing by a specialist), we help interpret evaluation results, manage co-occurring conditions, and guide treatment based on the identified traits and challenges.

How does treatment adapt over time?

Support for autism often changes across life stages. What works during childhood may need adjustment as someone becomes an adolescent or adult. As new challenges or needs arise, your provider will re-evaluate symptoms, adjust therapeutic goals, and change medication or environmental supports as appropriate. 

We accept most commercial insurance plans. Please contact us for more information.
