Dr Spivak is a holdover from a time long gone by and his views on autism and spousal abuse are harmful to the victims seeking healing.Do not trust him if you are a victim of domestic abuse. He will not advocate for you. In this era of Kavanaughs, Cosbies, and Roy Moores and #metoo, Spivak stands and protects abusers, under oath.He believes and will testify that seeking help and therapy for children with autism is harmful, despite ostensibly providing those services himself. And he sees nothing wrong with negating a diagnosis (again, under oath) that was already confirmed by multiple professionals with far more experience in the field than he has.Avoid at all costs.
