Autism support for Bedford families
Families with children at Bedford High School, Ross A. Lurgio Middle School and McKelvie Intermediate School often ask us for help with anxiety, focus, sleep or school planning. A first visit by video from home can be easier for autistic children and adults who find new places tiring.

What a psychiatrist adds
Many autistic people already have therapists, teachers or support staff. A psychiatrist identifies co-occurring conditions, weighs whether medication could help specific symptoms, and checks for medical issues behind changes in behavior or sleep.
Care for the Bedford community
Bedford families often balance demanding careers with busy school and activity schedules. Parents frequently contact us about anxiety, attention and pressure around academic performance, and many adults look for discreet, efficient care. Follow-ups by video fit well around commutes into Manchester.
Autistic adults
We also see autistic adults, including those identified later in life, for anxiety, depression, burnout and sleep.
Getting care from Bedford
From Bedford, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Bedford patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
