Webinar, May 6th, 2025, with McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that shapes how individuals experience and connect with the world around them. While signs often emerge in childhood, not everyone is evaluated and now countless adults are discovering that they’ve been on the spectrum all along.
* So what does ASD look like in adults? How do we make sure it is being accurately diagnosed? And how can all of us best support an adult with autism?
* Speaker Nora Friedman, MD, will break down how autism can present in adults, explains why symptom “masking” can lead to depression and anxiety, and answers audience questions about co-occurring challenges and how to support a loved one with adult ASD.
* This session will feature a live Q+A.
About the speaker: Nora Friedman, MD, is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Lurie Center for Autism. She provides clinical care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan.
