Review: Lisa Rivers is a licensed psychologist at Reach for Resources. She understands Aspergers and has been a wonderful counsellor for me. She's friendly and unassuming.

It's in the Eisenhower Community Center. The people there are all really nice.

I think Reach for Resources is for adults with developmental disabilities which includes autism. I wish I had their newsletter handy so I could give more info on the agency itself.

I made a childhood decision at the age of 13 to become a psychotherapist and, after more than 30 years of experience as a therapist, I continue to love my work with individuals, couples and families. I have been a Licensed Psychologist at the Master's level since 1979 and have completed my doctoral degree in clinical psychology in August 2003. My dissertation was entitled "The Development of the Adult Asperger Syndrome Scale." For over ten years, I have had a special interest in adults with Asperger Syndrome and work with those at least 14 years of age and their families, providing diagnosis and treatment. I see myself as a warm, caring, committed and perceptive psychotherapist, who understands that the delicate balance of being supported and challenged in therapy is highly unique to each person.

Review: My wife (Kay) was diagnosed my Dr. Foster. She said he was very thorough in the testing. I went over with kay what was done and I believe her.

The one caveat we have is, Dr. Foster just didn't seem to understand her problems at work nor could he seem to suggest any accommodations for her.

We both have agreed (that in our opinion) if you want to be tested for Asperger's Syndrome Dr. Foster will do a really great job but his therapy skills need a lot of work.

We do know some one who I believe is seeing Dr. Foster for therapy and we will try to get her to right a paragraph about her experience.

Dr. Jenkins graduated from St. Olaf College and then the University of Chicago-Pritaker School of Medicine. Dr. Jenkins completed seven years of residency training at the University of Chicago and the Mayo Clinic in pediatrics, psychiatry, child psychiatry, and psychopharmacology. She co-authored The Biology of Star Trek (Harper Collins, 1998) and A Pocket Reference for Psychiatrists (American Psychiatric Press, 1990, 1994). She has a specialty interest in ADHD and other Neurodevelopmental disorders.

Review: Dr. Jenkins was the doctor that gave me my diagnosis. I will admit she was the third doctor I had gone to for this, but to her my Asperger's Syndrome was obvious. I have to say that after several years of knowing the symptoms and being around Aspies; I can recognize them on sight. I am not sure how, but I haven't been wrong yet.

Unfortunately she is no longer working with adults only children and is only listed here as a favor to a goodly number of parents we get Email from looking for someone to diagnose there child they think has Asperger's or is on the spectrum.
