Autism & Creativity: Finding Ways to be Creative

Society falsely stereotypes autistic individuals as only being interested in logical thinking and facts, but many have incredible creative talents and interests that are often overlooked and untapped. AANE”s LifeMAP helps clients find healthy avenues for creativity that can inspire them to use their passions to open new opportunities for personal fulfillment.
