Autism & Asperger's FAQ
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Asperger’s?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental differences that affect how individuals communicate, socialize, and process the world around them. Asperger’s, now considered part of the broader autism spectrum, typically refers to individuals with average to above-average intelligence and more subtle challenges in social interaction. People with Asperger’s may not have significant language delays, but they often experience difficulty with social nuance, change, and sensory input.
How does ASD impact individuals?
Individuals with ASD may struggle with understanding social cues, reading body language, managing sensory input, and navigating transitions or change. At the same time, many have exceptional strengths such as deep curiosity, strong memory, creativity, and advanced problem-solving abilities. Without adequate support, however, they may face challenges related to anxiety, executive functioning, isolation, and fitting into traditional school or work environments.
How can therapy help individuals with Autism or Asperger’s?
Therapy can help individuals with Autism or Asperger’s better understand themselves, build emotional regulation skills, and navigate social situations with more confidence. Our neurodiversity-affirming approach includes support for managing overwhelm, improving daily routines, fostering independence, and strengthening communication with peers and family members. We tailor each session to meet the unique needs and strengths of the individual.
What does it mean to be Gifted or Twice-Exceptional (2e) with Autism?
Twice-exceptional (2e) individuals are those who are both gifted and have a neurodivergent diagnosis such as Autism. These teens and young adults may show extraordinary talent in areas like math, language, or the arts while also struggling with social interaction, executive functioning, or sensory regulation. Because their intelligence can mask their challenges—or vice versa—they are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Therapy for 2e individuals focuses on nurturing their strengths while building tools to support emotional regulation, peer connection, and self-advocacy in academic, social, and early career settings.
