LEANING INTO THERAPY

Leaning into Neurodivergence: Autism

Whitney Storey, MS, LPC, and Monet David, MS, LPC, ADHD-CCSP discuss neurodivergence and leaning into the nuances of identifying and supporting the autism diagnosis in the therapy setting. Monet and Whitney get into misconceptions surrounding autism, the importance of understanding neurodiversity, and the specific aspects of therapy for autistic individuals. The significance of recognizing the lived experiences of autistic people, the challenges of masking, and how traditional diagnostic frameworks can sometimes fail to capture the true essence of autism, is invaluable to fostering a working therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.
