Autism and Asperger's
Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
While I am not autistic, two of the four of us in my family are. And I have worked with many autistic clients. As with ADHD, autism is only a "disorder"in the context of our culture. Autistic brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. When autistic people are measured by neurotypical standards, it's no surprise they appear "disordered." The same happens to neurotypicals when you measure them by autistic standards. My role is one of support and education. I will help you understand how your brain works (as opposed to the neurotypical brain) and to identify the strengths you have as a result of the way your brain works. I will help you develop strategies to help with challenges you are dealing with and other potential issues such as emotional regulation.
I will help you with unmasking, emotional regulation challenges,
