Autism Assessment Santa Barbara - Dr. Anna KrasnoPsychologist, PhD (she, her)

About

I provide neurodiverse affirming autism evaluations and consultations for all ages and identities. I am interested in understanding the internal, hidden and genuine experience of neurodivergent individuals during the diagnostic process. Many individuals have been misdiagnosed or dismissed by providers. I am different. I work to understand masking and camouflaging of autistic traits. Autism is a difference in brain wiring and accurate diagnosis can be powerful in validating and affirming one's lived experience. A diagnostic process done in a neurodiverse affirming manner can be therapeutic.

I work with assigned female at birth (AFAB) individuals, gender diverse, non-binary and trans-identifying individuals, I distinguish autism from other diagnoses and work to understand autistic burnout and masked experiences.
