If you think you don’t have autistic clients in your practice… think again.

In this episode of Supervision Simplified, Dr. Amy Parks sits down with Jamie Roberts, LMFT — therapist, author, speaker, and founder of NeuroPebble — to unpack what clinicians often miss about neurodiversity in therapy and supervision.

From late diagnoses and masking to the gaps in graduate training, this conversation challenges the idea of a “typical brain” and explores how neuroaffirming practice changes the way we supervise, treat, and support clients.

We discuss:

• Why most clinicians underestimate how many autistic clients they serve

• The difference between neurodiversity as a social model vs. a medical model

• What grad school didn’t teach us about autism and ADHD

• How supervision can either reinforce or dismantle neuro-normative assumptions

• Universal design in supervision and training

• Why flexibility — not rigid scripts — creates better clinicians

If you are a supervisor, supervisee, or practicing therapist, this episode will challenge your assumptions and expand your lens.

The legacy of supervision starts here.
