How can dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) help Autistic clients, and how should it be modified to do so most effectively? Grounded in the authors' clinical expertise, research, and lived experience, this much-needed book offers concrete advice for tailoring individual therapy, DBT skills training, coaching, and consultation team to meet the needs and characteristics of Autistic clients. Amara Brook and Rachel Leah Kraus describe ways to develop neurohumility as a clinician; support clients' autonomy and counteract chronic traumatic invalidation; and accommodate a range of sensory, communication, and executive function differences. Throughout, illustrative personal and clinical examples bring the principles to life.
