To Whom It May Concern
Patient: Steven Soliman
DOB: 1995-02-25
I am writing this letter on behalf of my patient Steven Soliman, who is currently under my psychiatric care. Steven has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). These are lifelong neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions that can affect emotional regulation, social interactions, and impulse control.
As part of his disability, Steven may occasionally display behavior that can be misinterpreted in social or occupational settings, including difficulties with personal boundaries or physical space. Such behaviors are not intended to cause harm or discomfort but are rather symptoms of his neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions.
Specifically, I would like to clarify that any instance in which he may have inadvertently touched a coworker should be understood in the context of his disability. Steven continues to work on social awareness and boundary-setting in treatment, and we are actively addressing these challenges in therapy. This is part of his ongoing medical and behavioral management.
I respectfully request that any concerns arising from these behaviors be addressed with reasonable accommodations and understanding, in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). My patient benefits significantly from structured environments, positive reinforcement, and clear expectations. I am available to assist in providing guidance on appropriate accommodations in the workplace, if needed.
Thank you for your support and consideration.
Sincerely
Vasudha Ahuja M. D
