Autism and Asperger's
Brian Bermack
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Before studying psychology. I earned a degree from MIT and worked as a software engineer for many years. I now wor with a wide variety of patients of different ages, educational backgrounds, and different interests. However, my background gives me a perspective that can be particularly useful when working with patients who are highly intelligent, who work in or are oriented towards engineering, science, and technology, or who think of themselves as introverted, shy, or socially awkward, anxious, including social anxiety and those who identify as having Asperger’s/mild autism (including those who don’t see it as a disorder or a problem). Please reach out today for more information.
