Is autism treatable?
Autism is a diagnosis of neurodiversity, meaning that the brain of someone with autism processes information in a different manner. For individuals with autism sounds may sound louder, jokes may not make sense, feedback may feel like punishment; it varies for each individual. Because the brain is processing information differently, this means that people with autism experience different thoughts, emotions and sometimes behaviors than neurotypicals (those of us without autism). There are many different types of therapies that can teach someone with autism how to live more comfortably in the world - how to integrate sensory input, respond to social cues, and manage emotions. Counseling is one of the treatments for social and emotional learning. People with autism also frequently work with occupational therapists, neurologists, psychiatrists and even life coaches. *Heidi Ison**, MSW, LCSW* *Owner, Radically Open DBT Tampa
