Classification according to ICD-10 F84
Thinking differently, feeling differently: You are not alone
Autism is not a disease, but rather a characteristic of a congenital neurological developmental variation. The individual presentation can vary greatly. The brain of a person with autism processes information, emotions, sensory impressions, and social situations differently in some ways.
Some adolescents are above-average in intelligence, have a good memory, a high capacity for concentration, and special abilities in certain areas. In contrast, they often have difficulty forming friendships, managing conflicts appropriately, and understanding social cues.
Autism spectrum disorder is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and eating disorders.
Therapeutic support for autism is particularly appropriate when the adolescent struggles in certain situations or is no longer able to adequately structure their daily life.

The LIMES Schlossklinik Abtsee offers an individualized, multimodal treatment approach. In addition to a thorough diagnostic evaluation, elements such as behavioral therapy, social skills training, and occupational therapy are integrated into the treatment plan. Another key component is close collaboration with parents, who receive training on the specific characteristics of their autistic child and strategies for addressing them.
The goal of therapy should be to teach adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder appropriate behaviors that will enable them to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
