I AM includes treatment and support from the country's foremost experts in the field of autism in adulthood, autism and adult relationships, and neurodiverse mental health approaches. Our collaborative clinicians have a deep gratitude for both their clients' and their own personal experiences with autism and neurodivergence. A note on language: This website contains identity first language such as “autistic people” rather than person first language such as “people with autism” to respect the wishes of our clients and to align with current advocacy and identity research toward promoting autism as an integral piece of identity rather than a condition to be cured. https://www.iamautismmadison.com/who-we-are daily 0.75 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627843987eec8f4575c0efcf/b128bf12-5efb-43cf-a49e-13006f1d51c2/image0.jpeg Who We Are - Madeline Barger, MS, LMFT, BCBA, AASECT-CST (she/her/hers) Co-Founder of I AM Madeline Barger is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists in Madison, Wisconsin.
