Are you the parent who would do anything for your child... but feel like nothing you try actually works?

Are you the parent who would do anything for your child... but feel like nothing you try actually works?

Do you love your autistic or AuDHD child deeply, but find yourself walking on eggshells, never quite knowing what might trigger a meltdown?

Are you exhausted from well-meaning advice that doesn't fit your reality - because your child isn't like the other kids, and the usual parenting strategies just don't work?

You're not failing as a parent. You just need different tools.

What if you could finally understand why your child does what they do?

Imagine knowing exactly how to respond when your child melts down in the supermarket - not with embarrassment or frustration, but with confidence and compassion.

Picture bedtime becoming peaceful instead of a battle, transitions happening without tears, and your child feeling truly understood for who they are.

This isn't wishful thinking. It's what happens when you learn to parent in a neuroaffirming way.

This Course Is For You If Your Child...

Has been diagnosed with autism or AuDHD - and you're wondering "what now?"

Shows signs of being neurodivergent but you're navigating without formal diagnosis

Struggles with meltdowns, transitions, or sensory overwhelm - and you want to help, not just manage

Is described as "difficult" or "defiant" when you know they're just trying to cope

Has PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) - where traditional parenting approaches backfire spectacularly

Is brilliant and capable but the world doesn't always see their strengths

What You'll Learn

  • Why autism isn't something to "fix" - it's something to understand and support

  • How sensory processing really works (and why your child might hate certain clothes/foods/sounds)

  • The truth about stimming, special interests, and "odd" behaviours

Module 2: Communication That Actually Works

  • How to speak your child's language (hint: it might not be words)

  • Recognising when your child is overwhelmed before the meltdown happens

  • Scripts for teachers, family members, and other parents

Module 3: Navigating Meltdowns and Big Emotions

  • The difference between a tantrum and a meltdown (and why it matters)

Module 4: Daily Life Strategies

  • Making routines work for autistic brains

  • Transitions that don't end in tears

  • Creating a sensory-friendly home environment

Module 5: Understanding PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)

  • Why "just make them do it" doesn't work for PDA children

  • Collaborative approaches that reduce anxiety and resistance

  • Building trust when your child sees you as the enemy

Module 6: Building Your Child's Confidence and Independence

  • Celebrating your child's unique strengths and interests

  • Advocating for your child at school and in the community

FAQ section

Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Q: My child doesn't have a formal diagnosis yet. Is this course still relevant?

Absolutely. If your child shows signs of being neurodivergent, these strategies will help whether you have a formal diagnosis or not.

Q: My child is a teenager. Is it too late?

A: It's never too late to improve your relationship and understanding. Many strategies work across all ages, and we include specific guidance for different developmental stages.

A: The course specifically addresses AuDHD (autism + ADHD) as we don't have space to cover all other co-occurring conditions.

Q: How is this different from free information online?

A: This is structured, evidence-based guidance from experienced professionals, not random tips. You'll get a complete system, not scattered advice.

Q: What if I can't attend the live coaching calls?
