The Launch:

Negotiating the Transition from High School to the Great Beyond

Meet Teresa Bolick, Ph.D.

Dr. Bolick is a licensed clinical psychologist, dynamic public speaker, and author of Asperger Syndrome and Young Children: Building Skills for the Real World, and Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence: Helping Preteens and Teens Get Ready for the Real World. She earned her BA at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and her MA and Ph.D. at Emory University in Georgia. She has many years of experience working with children on the spectrum. She now lives in Massachusetts and consults with schools in her home state as well as in New Hampshire, where she is in private practice.

Dr. Bolick focuses on what happens as a young woman with Asperger’s launches into the world. She’s graduated from high school, and confident that she can make it “on her own.” But what happens when she leaves the nest, goes to college—and doesn’t perform up to your (or her) expectations? How much “help” should you offer? And what happens when she lands a job, only to discover it’s not all she thought it would be?

Dr. Bolick provides commonsense answers to these questions to help young women with Asperger’s and their caregivers survive this phase. She offers these encouraging words: “... almost everyone muddles through (some more gracefully than others).”
