ADHD and autism often co-occur, impacting attention, behavior, and social skills in unique and overlapping ways. Recognizing and addressing the presence of both conditions is essential for providing proper support and improving outcomes.

Understanding how these conditions interact helps create personalized strategies that truly meet individual needs — whether at home, school, or work.

Autistic burnout is more than everyday stress. It’s a state of deep physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that can lead to loss of skills, increased sensitivity, and withdrawal.

Often triggered by masking, social pressure, and sensory overload, burnout can seriously impact quality of life — though it's usually misunderstood or overlooked.

💡 Recovery is possible. It begins with reducing demands, creating safe and supportive environments, and accessing neurodiversity-affirming care.

At The Stables Autism Program, clients live in a supportive residential home designed to feel just like that — a home. This environment helps build real-life skills like cooking, cleaning, and daily routines in a safe, structured setting.

Just steps away, our on-site stable offers a unique opportunity for growth through caring for animals. As clients progress through treatment, they take on responsibilities like feeding, grooming, and following care routines — strengthening skills like communication, task-following, and emotional regulation.

Here, clients can develop independence readiness, confidence, and connection. 💙

Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a profile seen in some individuals with autism, marked by an extreme need to avoid everyday demands and a heightened sensitivity to perceived control. It’s not defiance — it’s distress.

At The Stables Autism Program, we recognize how PDA can impact engagement, emotional regulation, and therapeutic progress. That’s why our treatment approach is flexible and collaborative — honoring autonomy while gently building trust and resilience.
