REPOST THANK YOU! This administration had gone off the rails and they are hurting people! It’s out of control. Autism IS A NEUROTYPE! It is how a brain operates. And yes, some autistic people have much higher need for accommodation than others. Some need assisted communication, OT and speech services, and other resources. But most just need a society that accommodates them! It is not that hard. But capitalism tells us- be productive, do the things, do one way or else. This is not a sustainable society. And yes, I am beyond angry. Because again moms have to suffer. Please DO NOT listen to anyone in the administration about medical advice. This should be criminal. How much more of this can we take? We need to shut this down.

EMDRIA Convention 2025 was such an emotional experience as well as a professional one. I got to met my game changers- the people who shaped so much of my work and trainings that I give now. The hugs, the conversations, the amazing neurodivergent affirming EMDR meet up, the new connections I made were just incredible. The highlight was my co-authors presentation on the last day. She graciously let me be the mic bearer and included me in the content and questions on so many topics she covered. I felt so supported in my work despite not presenting myself this year. So grateful you are my co-author and partner in neurodivergence! We are going to rock this!

Autism Speaks makes like easier for parents but not the autistic person. Just because they are a child, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a say in how they are best supported. Being taught to “fit in” isn’t the best option. How to be you and survive this world? Yes! Listen to autistic voices and written words. They have a lot to say!

So excited to share how Neurodiversity affirming EMDR can help those with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance ) with the shame and trauma associated with being misunderstood as a result of this nervous system response to uncertainty and unreasonable feeling demands. Thanks to for my initial education on this subject that led me to my own personal understanding of this experience. Your training and support informed so much of this article. I couldn’t have done it without you all!

This why the energy exchange between client and therapist are so essential and the relationship between the two the key ingredient in healing. Our purpose should be the very essence of positive energy exchange that allow our clients to heal and our pure belief in them that they can. It’s definitely mine as a therapist and person. Something to think about as us therapists head into the busy holiday season and that energy can get defused and distracted.
