Why it’s so hard
The Invisible Cost
Life asks more of Autistic and AuDHD people than anyone sees. Few register that cost, so you mask to meet neurotypical expecations, while demands exhaust your energy. You reach for support and get misunderstood or handed advice that doesn’t fit your neurotype. Somewhere along the way, you start to wonder if you’re the problem. It’s wrong that Autistic people are left to figure it out alone in systems that never learned their experience. That’s why we started Everyday OT.
Why Everyday OT?

Therapy that wasn’t built for your way of being takes time, energy, and money. Left to compound, it takes your capacity too.

Occupational therapy is about everyday life. At Everyday OT, a neuroaffirming OT works with you on the practical things that are hard right now, across the 5 Rs: routines, responsibilities, regulation, rest, and relationships. That can mean getting started on tasks, pacing your energy, handling sensory load at work or school, or the admin of adult life. The aim is a week that works for you, not a version of you that looks less Autistic.
Everyday OT is a Canadian occupational therapy clinic for Autistic and AuDHD teens and adults. We offer telehealth OT in BC, Alberta, Ontario and Atlantic Canada, and in-person OT in Vancouver, Burnaby, the Tri-Cities, Squamish, Victoria, Calgary and Canmore. Autistic clinicians are on staff, every clinician has at least 6 years of ND experience, and we’ve helped 1,000+ ND clients across Canada.
OT focuses on everyday function: how your day runs, how you manage tasks and energy, and how your routines and spaces fit your neurotype. A psychologist usually focuses on assessment, diagnosis and mental health treatment, and a counsellor on talking through feelings and experiences. An OT asks what’s getting in the way of daily life and works on it with you in practical ways, like sensory supports, executive functioning strategies and pacing.
Yes. Many of the people we work with are self-identified, waiting on an assessment, or found out late in life. You don’t need a diagnosis to start, and we won’t ask you to prove anything. Some funding sources do require one; if that applies to you, we’ll say so plainly on the call.
A lot of support is designed for neurotypical brains and handed to Autistic people with the expectation that they adapt. We start from your neurotype instead. Sessions are paced to your energy, the goals are yours, and the plan changes when something doesn’t fit. Everything we offer is created, informed, or reviewed by Autistic professionals, including ones on our team.
The cost to you depends on funding coverage that’s available. Occupational therapy is covered by many extended health plans, and some clients use provincial funding, disability supports, or a workplace program instead. On the free discovery call we’ll tell you the exact fee and go through what could cover it, so there are no surprises before you commit to anything.
