A Neurodiversity Affirmative Approach for High-Masking Autistic Adults
As autism research has increased in recent years, especially regarding non-male presentations, the public has been gaining greater access to information about less-obvious presentations of autism. This has led to increasing numbers of adults realizing that they have this neurotype. Adults living with late-diagnosis, (self-identified or formally diagnosed) less-obvious autism face unique challenges:
Integrating autism identity with sense of self and relation of self with others and with social and political systems
Reframing life-narrative through this new lens
Developing approaches to balance authenticity and accommodation of nervous-system needs with socio-cultural and economic demands
Self-advocacy
Body attunement and nervous system regulation with exploration of limitations
In our therapy work together, we will explore and cultivate the above, through a strength-based and trauma-informed approach.
High-Masking Autistic Adult Group Therapy
Discovering your Autistic neurotype as an adult, typically comes with a lot of questions and introspection. It can be helpful to process this new self-understanding with other folks who are on a similar journey and a knowledgeable and neurodiversity affirmative therapist. This group will help support integrating this new aspect of identity and reframing experiences through an Autistic lens.
