Description

I’m fortunate, being Autistic, I can only think and parent as an Autistic—I don’t know how to parent any other way.  As such, my goal has always been to help parents, and others, to better understand us so that neurodivergent children grow up being appreciated, valued, and respected for who we are.

Autism just consists of challenges and strengths outside of the average.  It may seem a little scary to receive an autism diagnosis, but almost anything may seem terrifying until we learn more about it, and especially when it’s easily misunderstood and so much false or dated information is still around.  (I mean, at one point tomatoes were believed to be poisonous.)

My goal is to to guide you–while understanding us through stories, analogies, and examples–in creating skills and techniques that aid you in supporting your child, in the present and throughout this journey of life.
