Support for parent of autistic child

December 2002

My child is moderately autistic, and I need to work through my grief and worry. Does anyone know of a therapist in the N. Berkeley area who is good with parents (and families) of special needs children?

I highly recommend Lucia Milburn, who facilitates several parent groups for families with sp.needs children, and also has a private practice in Berkeley. She will also probably have referrals for you for other groups and/or therapists. Her tel. is 510-540-5138. Tracy

Sharada Thompson in North Berkeley is very sensitive about these issues. She has worked in schools in addition to her work as a therapist and understands many dimensions (practical, emotional, etc.) of the experience of living with these kinds of diagnoses. Dr.Thompson's number is 415-775-0559 Good luck!
