Testimonials

"I joined the group after hearing a relatable therapist was offering more than what was already shared on tiktok! I felt heard, understood and less alienated. This lead to my recovery journey and ongoing growth with

new understanding about myself in a space where I wasn't alone i felt supported by members as well as multiple peer therapists, parents and colleagues. Support and Education, that's what you'll get!" 

I recently joined this group after being newly diagnosed with autism (I already had ADHD), and it’s been such a supportive and validating experience. I was surprised—and encouraged—to see how many other members are either in grad school or applying, just like me. It made me realize how common it is for late-diagnosed autistic people to pursue paths that work better for them than traditional 9-to-5 jobs.

I really appreciate how the group is structured. There's order, which helps me feel more comfortable—like having to raise your hand to speak, and the way Danielle, the facilitator, clearly lets us know when the meeting is over so there's no confusion. People share genuinely helpful tips, and the community feels safe, thoughtful, and neurodivergent-friendly. I'm really glad I joined.
