AUTISM & ADHD
For many adults who have an Autism or ADHD diagnosis and for many who don’t, anxiety is often woven into daily life - rooted in sensory overwhelm and years of coping with change, challenging environments and masking. This leaves you frequently exceeding capacity.
Traditional therapy tools can often feel invalidating or ineffective, especially if they don’t consider the source of anxiety and the ways in which your nervous system has protected you and is trying to keep you safe.
Yourstory understands that your anxiety often makes sense. In a flexible and compassionate space, your lived experiences are validated and your individual needs are supported from the very beginning.
Together, we’ll work in ways that feel safe and sustainable, helping you to manage your overwhelm and reflect on the potential for change. The work is not to “fix” anxiety, but to increase self understanding.
‘Autistic anxiety is not irrational; it is a logical response to living in a world that is not designed for you.’
