Hi, I’m Autumn. I’m a licensed psychologist living in Florida. Like many, I didn’t have a name for my neurodivergence or even fully identify it until I was an adult. However, I found myself consistently drawn to learning about and advocating for the neurodiversity movement. I often felt most understood by peers and supervisors with similarly functioning brains. With time and support, I learned how to tap into my strengths and built a path towards success that prioritized my needs.
Living in our neurotypical society can feel isolating and frustrating at times, but I think having a better understanding of ourselves allows us to connect with other neurodivergent individuals and can be the first step towards hope. No matter where you are in this process, I really enjoy being a part of it. Being a safe space for others to explore their differences so they can tap into their strengths and build their own path is such an incredible honor, and I don’t take it lightly. My approach as a clinician very much mirrors who I am in my personal life, where I value authentic connections, genuineness, and humor.
Outside of work, I spend my time crocheting, reading, sewing, writing fiction, painting, or caring for my plants. I often find myself hopping around from hobby to hobby and have found I am happiest when I’m setting aside time for at least one of them every day.
