Autism Therapy for Glen Allen, VA, Residents That Honors Neurodiversity

Conditions like autism and ADHD fall under the “neurodivergent” umbrella, describing a brain that works differently. Different isn’t bad… So why do some people treat autism like a disease? At Infinite Abilities Counseling, LLC in Glen Allen, Virginia, we provide affirming, person-centered autism therapy that’s tailored to meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals. Available in person or via secure telehealth, our services are grounded in the belief that anyone can thrive if they are just given the right kind of support.

Understanding Autism Across the Spectrum

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exists on a spectrum, which makes it difficult to explain succinctly. Clinical “levels” of autism are used to give an idea of strengths and challenges:

• Level 1 (requiring support) – Difficulty with social communication and flexible thinking; may need minor support organizing tasks or handling change
• Level 2 (requiring substantial support) – Marked social impairment. More pronounced challenges with verbal/nonverbal communication and daily living
• Level 3 (requiring very substantial support) – Significant communication difficulties and restricted or repetitive behaviors; unable to function independently

Regardless of their level, each person deserves dignity and compassion.

The Goal of Autism Therapy

ASD presents differently in every individual, and our goal is not to “fix” anyone—there’s nothing broken, after all—but to support autistic clients in navigating environments that aren’t designed with neurodiversity in mind. We help children, teens, and adults reduce stress, increase self-understanding, and improve communication for daily functioning.
