frequently asked questions

Is autism a disorder that needs to be “fixed”?

No. Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, not a flaw. Our approach affirms identity while offering support for challenges like sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or daily functioning.

Can autism be diagnosed in adulthood?

Yes. Many people are diagnosed later in life, especially women and people of color whose traits were previously overlooked. A diagnosis can bring clarity, self-understanding, and access to new supports.

Does Sacred Rose work with children, teens, or adults?

We provide care across the lifespan. Each treatment plan is personalized based on the client’s age, strengths, and needs.

How does Sacred Rose create a safe space for autistic clients?

We use neurodivergent-affirming language and practices, avoid pathologizing differences, and prioritize client comfort. Every client is welcomed with compassion and respect.
