Late Diagnosed Autistic
Hello, My name is Derrick and I am Going To Coach You Through This Journey.
Late-diagnosed autism? Whether you have an official diagnosis or are self-diagnosed, discovering you're on the autism spectrum can be a challenging experience. For years, you may have felt like you were the problem, been told you were the problem or given another diagnosis that didn't quite fit. Then one day, you realize you have been trying to live neurodivergently in a neurotypical world, which can feel like discovering you live in the matrix.
As someone who has gone through this journey, I understand the difficulty of finding your place in the world after such a realization. The journey can be painful, and many neurotypical societal norms can be triggers for autistic individuals.
Therapy is often of no help, as every therapy theory currently in existence was built with the neurotypical person in mind. I know because I am a licensed therapist. This is why I created The Situational Therapist, a successful online platform boasting over 1 million followers on Tik Tok, where I speak passionately and unmasked about issues affecting neurodivergent individuals.
As a licensed therapist, I offer coaching to help you thrive and develop self-correcting mechanisms, systems, and scripts that will allow you to navigate your neurodivergent journey successfully. It is not therapy, but it is an empowering way to support you as you navigate the world.
During our coaching sessions, I will work with you on several areas, including unmasking, stimming techniques, handling social situations, approaching dating, adjusting systems, communicating to intimate partners about your neurodivergence, scripts for work or job, and one-on-one communication to help model the changes you will make.
You are here for a reason. You have gifts and perspectives that can change the world, but before that, you must learn to accept and embrace yourself. I am looking for working professionals who have to choose between being themselves and a paycheck, but my doors are open to anyone who shares this experience.
The fees for my coaching are $250 an hour. I understand that there are many people offering help for your situation and many of them just want to take advantage of you. Why not sign up for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you?
