Let's build a future full of awesome opportunities together! Understanding Asperger's and Autism Spectrum Disorder First, let's clarify a common term: Asperger's. While it's not used as much anymore, it's often referred to as lower support needs autism spectrum disorder. This shift in terminology helps better describe the varying support needs of individuals on the spectrum.   Therapy and Autism While autism is an incurable neurological developmental condition, you can treat its symptomatic issues. This is where therapy comes in. Therapy is the most effective way to address these issues, providing tailored support to help autistic individuals navigate various challenges. My Personal Experience with Therapy I've had all kinds of therapy, from in-person counseling to digital counseling via apps like BetterHelp. BetterHelp is a fantastic platform where you can connect with a specialist in autism and ADHD. You can have video calls, voice calls, or text conversations from the comfort of your own home. I've used it myself and highly recommend it.   The Power of Therapy Therapy offers a pathway to self-realization and understanding. While medication can help alleviate symptoms like anxiety and depression, therapy addresses specific issues directly. For instance, if you have a problem in a particular area of your life, a therapist can help you tackle that issue head-on. This targeted approach can be incredibly effective. Coaching: A Personalized Approach In addition to therapy, I also offer one-on-one coaching. If you have specific issues, such as relationship difficulties, you can reach out to me for personalized coaching sessions. We'll work together to address your unique challenges and find practical solutions. The Importance of Therapy Therapy plays a crucial role in helping autistic individuals. It's often overlooked but is incredibly valuable. When you actively engage with a therapist, follow protocols, and practice regularly, you can achieve significant improvements. Practice makes progress, and with therapy, you win every time. Conclusion Therapy is essential for addressing the specific needs of autistic individuals. It's a powerful tool for self-discovery and improvement. If you want more tips and hacks, check out my free Autism Life Hacks PDF book at [autismhacks.net](http://autismhacks.net).

5 Surprising Traits of Adults with Asperger’s (That Nobody Talks About)

Image
The other day, someone at work laughed at a joke I’d heard three days earlier. I only just “got it,” and I couldn’t stop laughing—long after everyone else had moved on. That’s just one weird window into my life with Asperger’s as an adult. Most conversations about autism stop at childhood, but adulthood with Asperger’s? It’s a whole different ballgame—and a surprisingly underexplored one. Time to lift the curtain and get a little personal. Let’s talk about what it’s really like, quirks and all. 1. Emotions: Always Late to the Party Ever had that feeling when your emotions don't show up until everyone else has gone home? That's my daily reality. As someone with what was once called Asperger's syndrome (officially removed from the DSM in 2013), I experience emotions on a bizarre time-delay. It's like my feelings are stuck in traffic while everyone else'...

As someone who has navigated the autism spectrum personally, it's both heartbreaking and enlightening to see how many women and girls are overlooked in discussions about autism. Growing up, I often felt like a fish out of water, desperately trying to blend in, to the point that it would cause emotional eruptions later. Today, I want to share some hidden aspects of autism in females that deserve recognition. 1. The Art of Masking What is Masking? Masking is a coping mechanism often employed by autistic females. It involves concealing their true feelings and behaviors to fit into societal expectations. Why do they feel the need to do this? Mostly, it stems from a desire for acceptance. Many autistic women feel pressure to conform to social norms that don't reflect their authentic selves. Think of it as putting on a costume. They become actors in a play, striving to blend in and avoid judgment. But this act comes at a price. The emotional toll can be over...

Let's dive into something fascinating today that you probably haven't heard about before: the connection between autism, stimming, and white noise.

This could be rocking back and forth, humming a tune, flicking fingers, or other repetitive movements. These behaviors help autistic individuals regulate their sensory input and manage their emotions. Stimming is often a comforting and self-soothing mechanism.
