Being the parent of a teenage boy with autism who is struggling, can cause challenges for the parent to know how to support their son. Autistic teens have many strengths but can face emotional, social, and developmental challenges. Residential treatment centers, like Discovery Ranch, are a great resource for these teens who are struggling. Each boy receives specialized care based on his individual needs and is taught skills that will help him while he is at the residential treatment center, and in the future.

In this episode, therapists Tiffany Silva Herlin, LCSW, and Christopher Brown, LMFT, a Neurodiverse Specialist and therapist at Discovery Ranch, discuss:

• The role of medications and supplements in managing ASD symptoms.
• How educational consultants can assist families in finding the right treatment options.
• The benefits of residential treatment programs, including specialized care and support.
