My Autistic Musing .. On Therapy

Therapy can help deeply — but only when it understands what it’s looking at.

In this minisode, Christine reflects on therapy through an Autistic lens — what can help, what can miss the mark, and why support should never be about forcing people to fit environments that are harming them.

Therapy can be life-changing. It can also completely miss the point when Autistic experience is misunderstood.

In this episode, Christine shares her reflections on therapy, support, and what many late-identified Autistic adults are really looking for when they reach out for help. She explores the difference between supporting a person and trying to change them, why nervous system realities matter, and why insight alone is not always enough.

This is a thoughtful conversation about fit, understanding, and what healing can look like when we stop assuming the person is the problem.
