About Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. While ASD itself is not a mental illness, co-occurring psychiatric conditions — including anxiety (40–50%), ADHD (50–70%), and depression (40%) — are extremely common and often require psychiatric treatment. Adult autism diagnosis and management is a growing need. Lyte Psychiatry provides psychiatric evaluation and treatment for the mental health conditions that frequently co-occur with ASD.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is highly treatable with the right care. Molina covers autism spectrum disorder treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
