Welcome. If you identify as highly sensitive or are exploring an autistic neurotype, you’re in the right place.
Newer understanding of lived experience shows many women and sensitive adults have a more internal autistic presentation and are often overlooked.
I’m Julie Bjelland, LMFT, a psychotherapist and author of the forthcoming book Autistic Women: A Clinician’s Guide to Neurodiversity-Affirming Identification and Support (W. W. Norton). I support autistic women and sensitive, neurodivergent adults in understanding their nervous systems and discovering their neurotype. I am also late-identified autistic and queer, and I know how much better life can feel when you’re finally given the right manual to understand your wiring.
