You never seem to quite fit in. No matter how hard you try it feels as though those around you have some sort of secret code that they all know and use to. As much as you have tried you just can’t crack the code. There are people in your life but you worry they only tolerate you that they will eventually get burned out and leave. You are a passionate person you love theater, reading, crafting, anime, video games, and fantasy. Yet, no one seems as interested in those things as you are. You can find communities on the internet but you still feel lonely. You might have been told that women aren’t autistic but that isn't true.
I am here to help you crack the social code while learning how to work with your brain. We will work to help you better understand your own needs and how to communicate those with others. Additionally, we will focus on finding ways to advocate for your needs both in your school or work life and your personal life. You can find community and connection.
Autism in women and girls is finally being recognized and diagnosed though for many the diagnosis comes after years of being socially isolated and having social difficulties. Getting help at any age to learn how to effectively navigate a world that was not designed for your brain can be very helpful.
