Hi, I'm Paola. I'm a level one autistic adult women. I am an autistic caregiver who brings lived understanding, patience, and compassion to my work with individuals on the spectrum. Because I navigate the world with sensory awareness and a deep respect for routine and communication differences, I am especially attentive to what others may miss. I approach caregiving with empathy rather than assumptions, recognizing that behavior is communication and that support looks different for every person. My goal as a companion is to create a calm, safe, and affirming presence-someone who listens, adapts, and meets individuals where they are. I value dignity, consistency, and trust, and I believe meaningful care comes from understanding the person, not just the diagnosis.
