About

I am clinical psychologist at Sarr Autism Rotterdam, part of Parnassia Psychiatric Institute, the Netherlands. My focus is treating mental health problems in adults with autism spectrum disorder diagnoses. My research and publications address the assessment, personality and treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorders diagnoses. I am active in the training of psychologists and psychiatrists to diagnose and treat autism and personality pathology in adults. In 2014 (first edition in Dutch; third revised edition in Ducth 2023; first edition in English 2024) I developed the NIDA (Nederlands Interview ten behoeve van Autismespectrumstoornis bij volwassenen – Ducth Interview for Diagnostic assessment of Autism spectrum disorder in adults). Current skills and expertise: 1. Autism spectrum disorder (in adults) 2. Personality pathology and disorders (in adults with autism spectrum disorder) 3. Intellectual developmental disorder (in adults with autism spectrum disorder)
