Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder 

  

Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Receiving an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis is not the end of the
journey—it is often the beginning of a better understanding of yourself and a pathway
toward more effective support.

Whether you were recently diagnosed as an adult or received your diagnosis as a child
or teenager, Dr. Moncino provides ongoing medical and behavioral care to help you
better understand your unique strengths and challenges. He works with adults to
develop practical strategies for everyday life, improve functioning at home, work, school,
and in relationships, and, when appropriate, use medications to help manage
associated conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, or
emotional regulation difficulties.

Living with ASD can be challenging, but you do not have to navigate those challenges
alone. Drawing on more than 45 years of pediatric experience and decades devoted to
caring for individuals with autism and other developmental and behavioral conditions,
Dr. Moncino provides compassionate, evidence-based guidance and long-term support.

Wondering Whether You May Have Autism?

Many adults wonder whether lifelong challenges with social communication,
relationships, sensory sensitivities, organization, or repetitive behaviors might be
explained by Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Although Dr. Moncino no longer performs comprehensive autism evaluations for adults,
he is happy to meet with individuals who have questions or concerns about the
possibility of ASD. During a consultation, he can review your history, discuss whether
your symptoms appear consistent with autism or another condition, and help you
determine whether a formal diagnostic evaluation would be beneficial.

If a comprehensive adult autism assessment is appropriate, Dr. Moncino can provide
guidance regarding the evaluation process and recommend experienced clinicians who
specialize in adult ASD assessments. 

 

Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) 

  

While most individuals are diagnosed with ADHD as a child, ADHD can present significant problems for adults due to: 

 

1. Not taking prescribed medications,

2. Prescribed medications being ineffective,  

3. Side effects have precluded the use of prescribed medications, or 

4. Or all too commonly, never having been diagnosed.  

  

Do you suffer from distraction, restlessness, procrastination, poor time management, impulsiveness, mood swings or difficulty with prioritization of tasks, which leads to missed deadlines or forgotten meetings, and ultimately poor job performance?  

 

Dr. Moncino brings decades of expertise in managing pediatric ADHD to adults in need of specialized care, with evidence-based behavior management and/or medication. 

​ 

All adult patients who wish to see Dr. Moncino and the GCADP for ASD or ADHD care must have an active and ongoing relationship with a primary care physician during all phases of evaluation and care.
