Twelve years ago my oldest son, who was an adolescent, was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Dr. Diane came into our home and guided me to the diagnosis of my youngest two sons. She has been there as a light during so many obscure moments I experienced as a mother. Dr. Adreon has dedicated her career to the improvement of the families living with autism, and we are a vivid example of her efforts. Thank you Dr. Adreon! We couldn’t have come this far without you! – Claudia Gomez-Walsh

“I have been working with Diane Adreon for about one year now and I can only say that her work with me has been truly life changing. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s as a an adult and Diane has shown me how the many challenges I have in my life are due to my diagnosis.  By working with Diane, I am managing my life in a more effective way that enables me to get along better in my relationships and understand the triggers that make my life more complicated for me to deal with.  For example, one issue that I struggle with at work is of appearing to constantly trying to “one up” my boss because I have a tendency to relate facts that I know and add them to her comments at meetings. I have become aware that this has put a strain on our work relationship as it appears I am trying to undermine her authority, which is not the case. I just have to get all of the facts out!  So, Diane suggested that I write her a note instead containing all of the facts that I know that she did not bring up at a meeting. Well this has solved the problem. I am able to get the facts out in the note. My boss can read it and since I do not bring these facts up during the meeting In front of the whole group, it doesn’t make her look less knowledgeable.  My boss realized that it was just my need to convey facts which I knew rather than trying to undermine her and this has greatly improved my standing with the boss.  And this is only one of the ways that Diane has helped me. She is very knowledgeable about autism, in general, and she is also insightful and caring.  I strongly recommend her to anyone on the autism spectrum or to friends and family members of people on the spectrum who want to understand and help their loved ones better.” Mike S.

As a fifty five year old woman recently diagnosed with Asperger’s, I was referred to Dr. Adreon by an autism professional in my community.  In the few months that I have been working with her, I have become so aware of why certain aspects of my life have been for almost an entire lifetime so challenging to deal with.  By this new-found awareness, I am able with her guidance to identify the areas I need to work on so that my life and my relationships can be more fulfilling. I am just at the beginning of the road and we are now working on identifying the tools I need to make the very necessary adjustments in laying the groundwork for making my future more in line with my goals and aspirations.” Ann H.
