The typical characteristics of autism spectrum disorder are social and communication difficulties and repetitive behaviors. Anxiety is not considered a core feature of autism, but research shows that generalized anxiety disorder is the most common comorbid condition in adults with autism.

Nonverbal autism is a subset of autism where the person does not speak but can communicate in other ways. Through research, we know that about 30 percent of people with autism are nonverbal or non-speaking. But the term “nonverbal” can mean something different for each person.

New research shows that it often takes three years and visits to multiple different specialists before Black children are diagnosed with autism, denying them a critical opportunity for early intervention when it’s likely to be most effective. Early intervention and access to vital services at the right time is crucial for those with autism. We understand the intervention delay for Black children is and has been a concern. Our mission is to provide access to resources and services for the needs of all children with autism and their families when they're seeking help. #BlackHistoryMonth
"As parents we have always tried to provide the very best services and environment for our son's needs. Because of the structure and programs at Pingree, we feel that we are able to give him the best. We credit his improvements and social gains to the Pingree staff and programs. Pingree is able to create a place where all children can develop and thrive. Every gain is celebrated, and each improvement is built upon to foster greater successes. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have the opportunity to have our child in such a well-structured and successful environment."
The Larsen family was one of the recipients of our Do Your Blue scholarships. Every year we celebrate our Do Your Blue campaign in efforts to raise much-needed scholarship funds for children with autism and their families. Stay tuned for more information about Do Your Blue 2021 and how you can help support!

Unfortunately, women often go undiagnosed because they don’t fit the autism stereotypes and they mask symptoms more than men do, which may negatively impact their quality of life. There is incredible support available, however, without a diagnosis certain women may never receive the treatment they deserve.

Meet Megan!
Megan is a Behavioral Specialist for our autism elementary class and has been with the Pingree Center for 15 years. Today we want to give her a special shoutout for her amazing work.
Our staff at the Pingree Center work hard to help those with autism and their families. Every single child and staff member has been positively impacted by their kindness, hard work, intelligence, and love. We asked Megan what there is to celebrate in her classroom? She explained,
"When kids are making great progress. One student is using PECS pictures more to tell us what she needs or is signing to us. Another’s language has increased and is using more words and full sentences. It is pretty amazing to see."
Thank you for being an inspiration and for all you do to take care of the children at the Pingree Center. We are so lucky to have such a passionate, fun, dedicated person on our team.
For those on the autism spectrum, driving is a big step when becoming a teen or young adult. As one of the major choices someone with autism makes as they transition into adulthood, driving helps open up several doors, including employment opportunities, access to community activities, and the development of social relationships.
