“Children with autism” grow into Autistic adults. As a a neurodivergent person, I have lived experience that gives me compassion (and passion) for my neurodivergent patients. Neuro-affirming therapy embraces and utilizes the client’s superpowers to navigate the neurotypical world. We work together to understand/rationalize societal norms to brainstorm realistic options for the person to communicate with neurotypicals without stigma, while remaining their authentic self.
