Autism Psychologists in Sao Paulo

Autism is a diverse group of conditions related to the development of the brain ¹. Abilities and needs vary, and they can change over time. Autism is often not identified until well after early childhood.

Support may mean assessment, or help with anxiety or low mood alongside the autism. It may also mean work with families and schools. It may mean changes to how therapy itself is done.

Therapy does not set out to remove autism. Ask a practitioner what experience they have with autistic people.

Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.

Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.

Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
