Therapist Recommendations: Portland, Oregon, USA

[elspeth]

Does anyone know of a good therapist or therapy practice in Portland, Oregon or around it (SW - Tigard, Tualatin, Beaverton) with a focus on adult autism (possibly also ADHD)? CBT or similar, in terms of the kind of therapy, would be good.

I'm finding a lot of resources for children who are autistic but not as many for adults and it would be great to find out about some that come with recommendations from the community.

I don't know that area - I'm on the other coast. But I think the U.S. is very lacking yet in keeping up to date on adult autism and therapy.

Interesting. I've made similar conclusions regarding Northern Nevada.

Same in Florida.

Well, hopefully someone will be able to suggest a therapist nonetheless. In my experience, unless the therapist is familiar with autism they can't even understand what's going on much less be helpful.
