Autism Spectrum Conditions
Autism spectrum conditions are lifelong neurodevelopmental differences that affect how a person communicates, interacts, and experiences the world. Each individual’s experience is unique, with both challenges and strengths.
What does autism feel like?
Living with autism can feel like navigating a world that doesn’t always make sense. Some may find social situations confusing or overwhelming, struggle with changes in routine, or experience sensory sensitivities. Others may have intense interests or excel in specific areas.
The experience may include:
Difficulty with social communication or understanding social cues.
Preference for routines and predictability.
Sensory sensitivities (to sounds, lights, textures).
Intense focus on specific interests.
How to overcome challenges of autism with therapy
Therapy can provide valuable support for autistic individuals, helping them develop social skills, manage sensory sensitivities, and build self-advocacy. At HeadHealth, therapists tailor sessions to each person’s needs and strengths.
Through autism counselling, you can:
Develop communication and social skills.
Learn strategies for managing sensory overload.
Build routines that support wellbeing.
Strengthen self-confidence and self-understanding.
Step-by-step guide to managing challenges of autism
Assessment: Identify strengths, challenges, and support needs through a thorough evaluation to understand communication, social skills, and sensory sensitivities.
Consultation: Work with a therapist to set personalised, achievable goals based on your unique profile and priorities.
Skill-building: Practise social and communication skills through role-play and real-life scenarios. Develop coping strategies for sensory sensitivities and daily living tasks.
Environmental adjustments: Create consistent routines and adapt your surroundings to reduce sensory overload and increase comfort.
Ongoing support: Regularly review progress with your therapist, adjust strategies as needed, and involve family or carers to reinforce learning and provide consistent support.
