Psychiatrist for Adults with Autism

[cfsheinin]

Hello-

I'm desperate and hoping someone can help. I have a 30 year old brother with severe autism and we're trying to find a psychiatrist to help with medication management. He currently lives in Birmingham, AL with my mom, but they're willing to go anywhere to see someone who's good. Does anyone have any suggestions on providers who can help who specialize in adults with autism? We can do private pay and also have insurance.

Please, anyone who can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

I would recommend you contact Autism Support of Alabama – Welcome to Autism Support of Alabama and see if they have any recommendations for providers. It looks like they're located right in Birmingham.

I wish the best for your brother and for you and your family.
