As an individual on the spectrum myself, I am keen on helping my clients and their parents focus on self advocacy. The neuro-typical world can be difficult to navigate at times because we are more prone to burn-out, to be overwhelmed by sensory stressors, by complex social situations, and by even our own self beliefs. I provide therapy and coaching for individuals on the spectrum and I provide support for their parents with the understanding that we can succeed as long as we believe in our ability to manage burn-out. To eat well, play more, and love yourself is one of the best ways for neuro-exceptional individuals (ASD, ADHD, and GAD) to navigate the neuro-typical world. Learning to eat well helps us reduce internal stress caused by poor nutrition. Playing more allows the individual to connect in the community in a more effective, and socially desirable way. Loving yourself is a way to balance it all by fostering gratitude for who we are and what we are able to accomplish on a day-to-day basis. Having the insight that we are on the spectrum is a great starting point to knowing how to navigate the neuro-typical world most effectively. Sometimes it takes a coach or therapist with a personal understanding of what it is to be on the spectrum to help us become confident in who we are and how we contribute to the world.
