Autism
Dana Wiesenfeld
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PA-C
Feeling like the world was not built for you? Maybe it wasn’t but shouldn’t it be? Why are we supposed to acclimate to neurotypical people if we are the ones with challenges? What if we did not have to put on our normal person mask everyday? What if someone told you, being you is actually a good thing? That is what we do!

Autism
Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
I help the partners of people with high-functioning autism (formerly Asperger's syndrome) gain clarity and more satisfaction in their relationships. Neurodiversity can shape the way people experience communication, connection, and emotional expression. In relationships where one or both partners are on the autism spectrum, these differences can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, frustration, or a sense of disconnection, despite a genuine desire for closeness.
Together, we’ll work to better understand these patterns through a compassionate, non-pathologizing lens. Rather than viewing differences as problems to fix, we’ll explore them as meaningful variations in how people process and express their experiences.
This work may include clarifying communication styles, identifying unmet needs, and developing new ways of connecting that feel more accessible and supportive for both people. The goal is to foster greater mutual understanding, reduce friction, and strengthen the relationship while honoring each person’s way of being.

Autism
Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
The medical model defines autism by what is supposedly lacking across all domains of existence. We cannot be empathetic, creative, imaginative, curious, aware, loving, connected, or attuned to other people. Our movements, gestures, special interests, need for certainty and concrete communication, and adaptations to overstimulating environments are used to define and control us. Through this paradigm, the autistic person is replaced by a persona seeking integration into a world that demands robotic subservience, only to encounter rejection, scorn, vitriol, and hate.
Autistic suffering is treated as evidence that autism itself requires “fixing.” Sensory overload-induced shutdowns and meltdowns, exhaustion, uncertainty, loneliness, sorrow, emptiness, and the need for support do not exist in isolation. Rather, these experiences are part of existence and cannot be ignored. This is where curiosity comes in.
Curiosity involves being with whatever is emergent, rather than endless intellectual and external analysis. Together, we will explore how you experience your body, sensations, flow, interests, connectedness to the earth, other people, time, and spaces in the present moment. Meltdowns and other adaptations are no longer reduced to “behaviors.” They remain a part of your ongoing humanity. Your story never ends. It is eternal.
Healing does not require taking on personas at the expense of your autistic identity. You are you. And I am I. Expectations are returned to the pit of sorrow and replaced with curiosity and love. Finally, I can just be.
