A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients
Over 100 Treatment Recommendations and Interventions for Creating a Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice

How can I best support the needs of my neurodivergent clients in therapy? With so much information, and so many different perspectives, it can be difficult to know where to start. Further, the mental health field has only recently begun moving away from "treating autism" to working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals in a more affirming way. That's why Dr. Amy Marschall created A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients. As an expert psychologist and a member of the autism community herself, she recognized the need to move away from treatments that pathologize differences and toward a neurodiversity-affirming approach that meets clients where they are. Inside, you'll find over 100 affirming tips, tools, and interventions that will allow you to:

● Honor the language preferences, goals, and priorities of the autistic community

● Create a foundation for assessment and treatment that best supports autistic clients

● Correct unintentional harms cause by historical "best practices" in autism treatment

Neurodiversity-affirming care is not a set of specific behaviors or interventions but an underlying philosophy of honoring each client's needs every day.
