Autistic spectrum disorder

ASD, sometimes known as autism, is a lifelong condition that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. Some people with autism are able to live independent lives, but others may also have other conditions such as a learning disability and need support throughout their lives.

 If you live in Bracknell and would like to know more about diagnosis of Autism please contact your GP for referral to Dr Trevor Powell.
