Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism is not a problem to fix — it's a way of being. At Dreavita, our neurodiversity-affirming team provides virtual therapy and coaching for autistic teens and adults across Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, California, Alaska, Washington, Colorado, Texas, and Connecticut. We support clients navigating sensory overload, burnout, anxiety, masking, identity exploration, and life transitions with care that honors your unique strengths.

What is autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not a deficit — it’s a different way of processing the world. While some people may associate autism only with childhood, many autistic individuals are diagnosed in adolescence or adulthood. Autistic people often experience sensory sensitivities, intense interests, communication differences, and unique ways of thinking that shape how they interact with others and move through life.

At Dreavita, we support autistic clients by honoring their needs, not trying to "fix" them. Our team works with teens and adults across the spectrum — including those who are self-diagnosed, exploring identity, or navigating burnout, masking, and emotional regulation in a world that wasn't designed with neurodivergence in mind.

What can autism look like in everyday life?

Autism presents differently in everyone, especially across gender, race, and cultural backgrounds. While no two people are the same, some autistic individuals may:

• Feel overwhelmed by noise, light, or touch

• Prefer structured routines or have difficulty with sudden changes

• Experience social exhaustion or anxiety

• Have rich inner worlds or deep focus on specific interests

• Struggle with masking or people-pleasing to fit into neurotypical environments

• Notice delays in diagnosis due to cultural stigma or missed signs earlier in life

• Navigate challenges in communication, especially under stress or with unfamiliar people

We recognize that many of these experiences are responses to an inaccessible world — not signs of brokenness. At Dreavita, we see your strengths, your needs, and your full humanity.

How does Dreavita support autistic clients?

Our team uses a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-affirming approach to support autistic teens and adults. We adapt each care plan based on your needs, preferences, and goals.

Services may include:

• Client-centered therapy with trauma-informed clinicians

• Coaching for executive functioning, burnout, and transitions

• Financial therapy and support with life planning

• Art and somatic therapy for sensory integration

• EMDR and mindfulness practices (tailored for neurodivergent brains)
