About Us: Therapy for Adolescent Teens Autism Spectrum Disorder
Our Journey
Founded in 2017, Therapy for Adolescent Teens Autism Spectrum Disorder (TATASD) is a dedicated online resource hub with a mission to transform the way we understand and support adolescents on the autism spectrum. The idea for this website emerged from the growing recognition of the unique challenges faced by teens with autism and the need for accessible, reliable information and resources.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create an inclusive space where parents, caregivers, educators, and teens themselves could find valuable insights, practical guidance, and community support. Since its inception, TATASD has grown from a modest online platform to a thriving community, reaching thousands of individuals worldwide.
