This podcast is not meant to replace therapy or clinical diagnosis. This is for educational purposes and to share my lived and personal experiences.
At The Atypical View, we recognize that meltdowns are not behavioral problems, they are nervous system responses that call for support and safety. For many autistic individuals, especially those who are late diagnosed, big emotions are often misunderstood.

Gratitude and Reflection
Gratitude and Reflection During Thanksgiving Week As Thanksgiving approaches, many of us are reminded to pause and reflect. Yet it is equally important to acknowledge that the traditional story of Thanksgiving is not accurate and the story of the "Pilgrims and Indians" has caused lasting harm to Indigenous communities. The commonly told narrative erases violence, colonization, and loss. At The Atypical View, we believe in practicing both awareness and compassion, recognizing that truth-...

At The Atypical View, we modify nervous system regulation tools to meet each neurodiverse client’s unique sensory profil...

Autistic Special Interests
The Power of Special Interests in Autism: Special interests are one of the most unique and meaningful parts of autism. While often misunderstood by the broader public, they bring joy, stability, and identity to autistic individuals. For many late diagnosed autistic adults, recognizing their special interests as a strength rather than a flaw is a life changing moment.
