AUTISM SUPPORT
“Autists are the ultimate square pegs, and the problem with pounding a square peg into a round hole is not that the hammering is hard work. It’s that you’re destroying the peg.”

You’ve seen the labels but none of them truly describe who you are at your core. Like everyone else, you want to be seen. You want people to know and value you for your strengths, your differences, your unique qualities. You want others to recognize the areas where you could use support. You want to find your place in the world.
“If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.”

Interventions for autistic people often focus exclusively “on the autism” and forget that the autistic person is a whole person with a vast inner world of unique personality traits, desires, and psychospiritual complexities,
Meanwhile, therapies and interventions designed for neurotypical people “ignore the autism” or treat it as an add-on, separate from the person, instead of an integral part of who they are.
I offer a holistic approach with both a vast knowledge of autism and a deep reverence for the complexities of the human condition.
I embrace the neurodiversity model and believe autism is both a difference and a disability. I embrace autism as a variation of human experience, while also holding that much of what causes suffering for autistic people can be alleviated through accurate understanding and person-centered care.
