  • Causes of Cassandra syndrome include challenges in communication and understanding between neurotypical and autistic individuals, lack of knowledge about autism, and difficulties in expressing emotions and intimacy.

A Message from Dr. Roberson:

I will be away from the office from September 14 through October 5 and will resume appointments on October 6.

During this time, I will be reviewing appointment inquiries periodically. If you are interested in individual therapy, couples therapy, or an adult autism assessment, you are welcome to contact me while I am away to request an appointment for after my return.

Please email me with your name, contact information, the service you are interested in, and your general availability. I will respond as soon as I am able and will be happy to arrange an appointment for October.
