The difference between traditional therapy and therapeutic interventions for autistic or ADHD individuals lies in the approach.
Traditional therapy often encourages you to sit with and process uncomfortable or challenging parts of yourself, aiming for change or resolution. However, when this change doesn't occur, it can lead to further distress, making you feel as though you are beyond help - as if you are something to be 'fixed' but ultimately unfixable.
In contrast, therapeutic interventions from an auDHD perspective understand that certain parts of you, like sensory sensitivities, difficulties in busy environments or struggling to sit still, aren't problems to be 'overcome.' Instead, they focus on helping you accept and accommodate these natural aspects of yourself while also addressing any unresolved trauma.
