Adult ADHD & Adult Autism Coaching Gain frameworks, skills, and communication to navigate life in Littleton and DTC.

In our society, the typical age of first autism diagnosis is between four and five years of age. ADHD has been identified in children as young as three. Some people struggle through life and are not identified as having adult autism or adult ADHD until well into adulthood. The unfortunate reality we face is that some doctors do not believe adult ADHD is a real situation and almost every ADHD and autism program we’ve encountered is geared towards youth and adolescents. Once we turned 18 and became an “adult”, we were on our own.

Many people with adult ADHD or adult autism feel that their deck of cards is stacked against them and life’s experiences have shown them they will always struggle. We’re here to help with adult ADHD coaching and adult autism coaching for adults and executives with real-world assistance provided by staff with first-hand experience with adult ADHD and adult autism.

The fields of adult ADHD coaching and adult autism coaching are only now being realized as necessary and helpful. As with any emerging area of expertise, resources can be limited at times. Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose can be due to existing misconceptions and prejudices about the conditions, and limited exposure and training on the part of medical and mental health providers, especially in the case when working with adults. You do not need to have a formal diagnosis of ADHD or autism to work with a coach. Our frameworks and strategies can help bring additional order and success to your life.

Navigating Relationships

Life is comprised of multiple layers of overlapping— and sometimes conflicting— relationships. No matter how hard those of us with autism might try to avoid them, we encounter them everywhere. Adult ADHD can have dramatic effects on relationships for both partners.

Navigating these relationships can be scary, frustrating, and even satisfying. Sometimes we just cannot understand others and why they place the importance on interactions. A third-party perspective can help you redefine your comfort.

We work with clients for so much more than only romantic relationships. Finding success in work and interpersonal relationships can renew life satisfaction.

Our coaches work with you to identify the skills you feel you need to make your relationships work for you. Together, we set realistic and incremental goals to enhance executive skills and improve self-regulation and self-soothing. We help you erect scaffolding to assist you with “all those things you forget to do”. Our goal is to make you more successful in the ways you feel are important.

Executive skills: business and life

Many people with adult ADHD or adult autism have experienced failure for the greater part of their lives: we’re always letting people down because we are not what others want us to be. All that we did do was never good enough. Many of us are scared to try again, only to disappoint everyone around us. We help reshape these experiences and set healthier expectations going forward.

People may call you lazy or always distracted. All people with ADHD and autism have executive skill disorders. Not all people with executive skill disorders have adult ADHD or adult autism. There are no textbook answers to working with adult ADHD or adult autism— we work from first-hand ADHD and autism experience and clinical best practices. We strive for qualitative results that will improve your life and reality.

We help you define, refine, and empower your goals. We work with you on planning and procrastination. We teach organization— not like they do in streaming shows! We strive to make your organization style work for you.

We are ready to work with you across the entire spectrum of your life. We help identify methods and life hacks to improve your earning ability.

There are lazy and distracted people out there. Let’s get you feeling like you are not one of them.

You’re not lazy. Schedule now for an adult Autism or adult ADHD coaching appointment.

Make An Appointment

I’ve had a project sitting on my desk for several months and I’ve been pecking at it. Usually I will open the file, take a look, edit a note or two, then close the file. After all, it’s not due for another month. In clinical parlance, I find the project in the “not now” and it doesn’t exist. Three weeks from now it will slip into the “now” and it will rise in importance.

I teach there are four types of tasks: yellow, red, blue, and green. Yellow tasks are the ones you really don’t like doing and they deplete you emotionally and physically, and they’re not past due...
