Autism Spectrum Disorders are social communication disorders that impact individuals across the lifespan. Often these individuals struggle with social interactions, sensory sensitivities, developing close friendships, and expressing themselves and their emotions. Children with autism often report feeling lonely or frustrated with their difficulty "fitting in." Adults with autism may struggle with living independently and managing daily responsibilities. They may struggle to obtain and keep employment and often report a lack of a close social network.
At Empowerment Counseling, we recognize the importance of meeting each client and family where they are at. Services in this area are tailored to meet individual need. We will work to identify the unique strengths and talents that each individual has and use these to build other skills. We do work around creating healthy boundaries and relationships, emotional expression, social skill development, and developing skills to help individuals be successful at school, work, and in the community.
