therapy for autistic adults

Post date: 2021-04-20 11:52:57

I am looking for therapy practices/therapists/organizations (psychotherapy and/or occupational therapy for sensory issues) anywhere in the US that take (any kind of) insurance and are very skilled at or specialize in working with autistic adults who are fine at living independently and have been able to cope with the world enough to make it through high school and college without particular help (although perhaps are very worn down from it and are not at all thriving.) This is for myself.

Most of the resources I see are either
a) private-pay only or
b) directed toward adults who are in a very different place in life than me (for example perhaps their parents are still managing their care/trying to help them learn to live independently) and generally not coming from the perspective I want (e.g. I see a lot of autism services organizations that take insurance but seem to focus mostly on kids--with adult services that maybe view autistic adults as sort of like kids--and often still believe in modalities like ABA, which is a dealbreaker and not the sort of org I'm looking for at all.)

I am open to moving somewhere that has better services/coverage and choosing an insurance plan that is accepted by a particular practice or organization, so information about anywhere in the US is welcome.
