Occupational Therapy for Autism?


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a deep dive into a hot topic: Occupational Therapy for autistic people—is it helpful or not? Drawing from my personal experience as an autistic adult who has used occupational therapy for sensory processing issues, I share the real results I’ve seen and why I believe this form of therapy can be incredibly beneficial when it’s tailored to the individual.

Occupational therapy is often misunderstood in the autism world. It’s not a one-size-fits-all treatment—it can be highly customized to fit your specific needs, especially when it comes to sensory sensitivities, motor skills, and daily life functioning. If you’ve been wondering whether occupational therapy is right for you or your loved one, this episode gives you clear, honest insight from someone who’s lived it.

🎯 In this episode, we cover:

  • What occupational therapy looks like for autistic adults

  • How it supports sensory integration and executive function

  • Why a personalized approach is key

  • Common misconceptions and what to avoid

  • Tips for finding the right OT support for autism
