Then she asked if the patient had considered whether she might have autism. Soon, for the first time in the patient\u2019s nearly 30 years, she would feel she wasn\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually, autism is diagnosed in school-age years,\u201d Van Tine said. \u201cThe poor gal had no real support or resources. A poor sense of well-being, a lack of self-worth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the patient was formally diagnosed, a variety of resources became available to help her. She could receive advocacy and access to reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as help with social skills, regulating emotions and sensory difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith so much of a support base, she\u2019s going back to school for something she always wanted,\u201d Van Tine said. \u201cIt\u2019s completely life-changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The patient shared with Van Tine a poem she wrote about feeling empowered by what she has learned during her therapy sessions. Monica Ellis, a speech-language pathologist with the clinic, said Van Tine \u201cwent way above and beyond\u201d to help this patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarly not only opened the door to this patient getting answers and a whole new understanding of herself, but Carly also accompanied her to the local autism resource fair on her day off to ensure this patient felt safe in the face of a new environment and could tap into critical local resources,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cNow that is equity in action. This event was a game-changer for our patient, and it has clearly opened up her whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellis, who has collaborated with Van Tine caring for the patient, added that the patient has a \u201crenewed sense of identity, hope, community, and much less \u2018aloneness\u2019 in her heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before her current profession, Van Tine was a neuropsychology technician with UCHealth. Opportunities to support patients after their diagnoses inspired her to enroll in graduate school to become an occupational therapist. She now sees many adult, neuro-diverse patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really excited to hone in on this population,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s fun to see a different perspective of the world, and to be able to help them from my perspective.
