Asperger’s Syndrome – for youth or adults, this is a challenging neurological condition. With this condition, there is usually a combination of having great capacity for remembering some or most kinds of information and then using it to logically work toward problem solving. A challenging part of Asperger’s can be that other people don’t recognize these talents and focus only on the ways that it’s difficult to be flexible sometimes and to be responsive in social situations. Sensory irritations, easily being distracted and being overly focused on pet topics can also be ways that people overlook the talents of the individual. Those with Asperger’s can learn to be defensive about being overlooked. I accept the unique struggle of having the Asperger’s condition and work supportively with youth and adults to improve interactions with others, to learn to value their unique abilities, and to validate their own emotions by learning to not be overwhelmed by them.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I embrace the unique world of individuals with Autism and Asperger's with profound empathy and respect. My approach is rooted in understanding the distinct experiences and perspectives that come with these conditions. Through a blend of specialized therapies and compassionate support, I strive to connect deeply with each person, helping them to navigate their social and emotional landscapes. It's a journey of celebrating their unique strengths, fostering self-acceptance, and empowering them to find their own voice in a world that often overlooks the beauty in difference. Together, we uncover pathways to meaningful connections, self-discovery, and a sense of belonging.
