Biography
Dr. Carson completed his doctorate at The University of Texas at Austin, with a predoctoral internship at the Counseling Center of the University of Maryland, and a postdoctoral internship at the Center for Psychological Services/Special Education Services in the Chicago area. He has also enjoyed an extensive career developing educational and psychological assessments (e.g., Riverside Publishing and InstaReport.us).
"I am on the spectrum myself, something I discovered rather late in my career. I want to help other adults on the spectrum to lead productive and fulfilling lives. I began to learn about autism while developing standardized tests (e.g., the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales). Then I had experience working with K-12 students through special education assessments. Finally, I gained experience working with both children and adults on the spectrum by completing psychiatric assessments for Social Security disability evaluations. After learning about Prosper, I realized that I could focus my practice on working with autistic adults."
