About the services I offer

Dr. Kenneth Roberson is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in San Francisco, providing assessment and therapy to adults with Autism.

Adult Autism Psychologist

Autism psychologists provide assessment, diagnoses and therapy for Autism.

Diagnosing Adult ASD

Do you wonder if you have Autism Spectrum Disorder? Has a healthcare professional has recommended a diagnosis? If so, an official diagnosis is beneficial.

Therapy for Autistic Adults

My goal is to assist individuals with Autism lead successful, meaningful & happy lives..

Neurodiverse Couples Therapy

I work with couples where one person has autism and the other is neurotypical. My goal is to help couples achieve the fulfillment they both desire in their relationship.

Clinical psychologist specializing in Adult autism

I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology and began my career at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For the past 30 years, I’ve practiced in San Francisco, working with adults and couples navigating Autism.

My work is rooted in early autism scholarship—from pioneers like Leo Kanner, Lorna Wing, Uta Frith, and Tony Attwood—yet firmly grounded in contemporary research and best practices. In 2015, I authored Adult Asperger’s Syndrome: The Essential Guide, and I continue to stay current with evolving diagnostic criteria and therapeutic innovations.

In my clinical practice, I specialize in:

  • Adult ASD Assessment & Diagnosis – thorough evaluations to confirm or clarify adult autism presentations.

  • Individual Therapy for Adults with Autism – tailored support for self-understanding, emotion regulation, social skills, and well-being.

  • Neurodiverse Couples Therapy – focused support for couples where one or both partners are neurodiverse, addressing communication, understanding, and connection.
