Neurodiversity-Affirming Autism Support For Anyone Who Supports Autistic People.
We thrive the most when we feel truly seen and understood.
To authentically support Autistic people, we must first enhance our understanding of the Autistic experience.
My mission is to translate the Autistic experience so non-Autistic folks can better understand our world.
I provide training, coaching and consultation for schools, therapists, health care professionals, and families from an Autistic perspective.
I also offer neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy and coaching for Autistic adults.
Sharon Kaye O’Connor, LCSW is an autistic psychotherapist in Manhattan, NYC.
“Our school has partnered with Sharon to enlist her support with some of our highest-needs neurodiverse learners. Her knowledge and expertise have helped to enhance our faculty’s ability to effectively work with these students on the autism spectrum. Sharon is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, and is a strong communicator. We are truly appreciative of her words of wisdom and ongoing collaboration.”
