This Autism Awareness Month, we take a moment to honour and celebrate autistic individuals and the unique perspectives, talents, and contributions they bring to our communities. Autism is a spectrum—meaning every person experiences it differently—and understanding this diversity helps us build more inclusive, compassionate spaces.

Awareness is just the first step. True support comes from listening, learning, and embracing differences without judgment. Small acts—like practicing patience, using clear communication, and offering understanding—can make a big difference.

Let’s celebrate neurodiversity and strive for a world where every individual feels seen, valued, and accepted.

If you or a loved one are navigating life on the autism spectrum and would like guidance or support, my practice offers client-centred counselling in St. Albert and virtually across Alberta and beyond, providing care that honours your individuality and respects your way of being.
