My current psychiatrist has been getting things dangerously wrong, so I need a new one. Medication is very helpful for me when done right, so I'm on the right track, but I've been working with the wrong doctor for my case. I live near Boston, but I'm willing to travel to find someone with expertise in treating adults on the autism spectrum. My symptoms and drug sensitivities may be unusual, even for someone on the spectrum, so it's important that I see someone who's good at individualizing treatment, rather than going by generalizations. I've contacted AANE and am awaiting their reply. I also just submitted an intake form to the Lurie Center, but I suspect they won't accept my case.

Depending on insurance... MGH probably best bet..if you become a client then it is more likely that you will be pushed to top of list of any new drug/ research trials..if applicable to ur dxs and ur willing...if minor might get stuck w/ children's ... there are many private practice neuropsychs but Idk if they are practitioners or just do testing?? Contact ur insurance see who is in ur network and then Google for top specialists as well...see if they can finagle out of network care. That's the most logical approach I think?.
