Having Asperger’s syndrome affects how a person communicates and interacts with others. It is a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by social difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and narrow interests. In addition to exceptional abilities in memory, logic, and creativity, people with Asperger’s syndrome may also possess exceptional abilities in other areas.
Asperger's syndrome affects your quality of life and well-being in a number of ways. It can affect how you form and maintain relationships, how you perform at school and work, or how you cope with stress and emotions. It can also increase your risk of other health problems, such as anxiety, depression, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

In addition to psychotherapy, medication, social skills training, and occupational therapy, Asperger's syndrome can be diagnosed through psychological evaluation, behavioral observation, or standardized testing. In addition to having long waiting times, high deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and surprise bills, managing Asperger's syndrome can be challenging and costly for many patients. They may also feel rushed or dissatisfied with the care they receive. Benjamin Franklin said, "He who believes money will do everything may well be accused of doing everything for money."
For a flat monthly fee, direct primary care (DPC) allows patients to have unlimited access to their primary care physician. By eliminating the middleman of insurance companies, DPC allows patients to have a direct relationship with their doctor without the middleman of insurance companies.
Asperger's syndrome patients can benefit from DPC in many ways. Here are a few:
DPC doctors have fewer patients than traditional doctors, so they can spend more time with each patient. As Hippocrates said, “It is more important to know what type of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has,” so they can listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and provide personalized care.
DPC doctors are available 24/7 by phone, text, email, or video chat. You can also schedule same-day or next-day appointments at your convenience. No long waits or referrals are required. Albert Einstein once said, "The only source of knowledge is experience."

More prevention and wellness: DPC doctors focus on preventing and treating the root causes of your health problems, not just the symptoms. You can receive psychotherapy, medication management, social skills training, and occupational therapy to manage your Asperger's syndrome. Psychological evaluations, behavioral observations, or standardized tests can also be used to monitor your mental health. A doctor of the future will not give medicine but will focus on diet, the body's health, and the cause and prevention of disease, as Thomas Edison once said.
A flat monthly fee covers all primary care services provided by DPC doctors. You don't have to pay any deductibles, copays, coinsurance, or surprises. You also know exactly what you are paying for and what you are receiving. Avoiding unnecessary tests, procedures, and hospitalizations can help you save money. Your DPC membership can also be paid for with your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). Warren Buffett said, "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
Patients with Asperger's syndrome can benefit from DPC. Here are some examples:
In a study, patients who received DPC had lower hospitalization rates and lower total health care costs than patients who received traditional fee-for-service care.
Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressants, a DPC doctor treated a patient with Asperger's syndrome who had been struggling with social anxiety and depression.
Through social skills training and occupational therapy, a DPC patient was able to develop better social skills and coping strategies to manage his Asperger’s syndrome that he had been diagnosed with as an adult.
Consider joining a DPC practice if you have Asperger's syndrome or are at risk of developing it. DPC can offer you a personalized approach to managing your mental health and well-being.
Take good care of your mind with DPC. As Leonardo da Vinci said, "Learning never exhausts the mind."
