High Functioning Autism Treatment

Support for every stage of life

Whether you are a parent of a child newly diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, have a child who has been managing ASD for some time, are a young adult navigating college or new relationships, or an adult with ASD seeking support — Jennifer is here to help.

According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 59 children are diagnosed with ASD. Individuals with autism have a unique combination of strengths and challenges that affect social communication, learning, behavior, and how they navigate a world full of unexpected changes and high social expectations.

The challenges of living with ASD

Social expectations, sudden changes in routines, sensory sensitivities, and difficulty expressing needs can leave individuals of all ages with ASD feeling anxious and overwhelmed. These challenges look different at every stage of life:

Young Children

• Tantrums and repetitive or rigid behaviors
• Difficulty initiating play or conversation with peers
• Sensory sensitivities to sounds, textures, or environments
• Challenges with transitions and unexpected changes

Teenagers

• Social isolation and difficulty finding peer acceptance
• Increased anxiety, depression, and non-compliance
• Struggles with grooming, hygiene, and self-care
• Challenges with organization and planning
• Seeking more independence but needing structured support

Adults

• Ongoing communication and relationship challenges
• Difficulty maintaining employment
• Managing family expectations and personal relationships
• Navigating college, independence, and new life demands

How Jennifer helps

Jennifer works with children, adolescents, and adults with higher functioning ASD. She understands the unique needs and learning styles of individuals on the spectrum and uses a tailored, compassionate approach to support each person in building confidence, communication skills, and practical coping strategies.

She also provides support and guidance to parents and caregivers — because helping a family member with ASD often means the whole family needs tools and understanding too.
