Meet Your Coach Alex:
That's Me
With over 5 years of experience in alternative and functional interventions, collaborating with numerous families, I've amassed knowledge through specialized training and US study courses. As a mother of two children with autism and ADHD, and being autistic myself, I possess an intimate understanding of the challenges and stresses involved, allowing me to offer effective solutions step by step.
My dedication to providing this service springs from a personal connection and a profound commitment to the well-being of families with autistic children. My goal is to establish an environment where families can find solace, abundant resources, and personalized support.
I've walked the path you're on – not from a textbook – but through lived experience as an autism parent myself. Recognizing the need for holistic support became apparent when I witnessed the limited resources and the absence of a comprehensive approach for families facing similar circumstances. Through my own journey and experiences, I've discovered effective methods to significantly enhance the quality of life for autistic children and their families.
So, above all else, I want you to feel assured that you are in a safe space to share, unload, and be heard. I provide a judgment-free environment where all your feelings are valued and acknowledged.
Much Love & Keep pushing it!
Alex

Navigating Autism
My Personal Journey of Triumph & Struggle
As a parent of two children with autism/ADHD, I can deeply relate to your daily challenges. Simple tasks like eating, getting dressed, or bedtime routines can become monumental hurdles, triggering meltdowns and tears.
I vividly recall the early days of my son Robin's autism journey. Our once "normal" morning routine became a battleground, with Robin fixated on eating only salami and resisting getting dressed, often leading to intense meltdowns and even self-harm. It was a heart-wrenching struggle, filled with feelings of failure, helplessness, and overwhelming hurt.
During this time, I desperately sought support, only to find disbelief and dismissal from those closest to me. The only interventions suggested were medications or endless therapy sessions, which seemed to offer little relief and added stress to our already challenging routine.
The frustrations mounted as I encountered a lack of knowledgeable services, societal stigma, and the isolating stares of strangers. However, amidst the chaos, I found solace in my own journey as an autistic individual. Despite the challenges, I've learned to thrive and find fulfilment in life. I want to share this message of hope with you – that life with autism can be fulfilling, interesting, and deeply meaningful.
My firsthand experience navigating a hypersensitive body in a harsh world has taught me valuable insights into autism and the importance of finding the right strategies to navigate and embrace our differences. Autism isn't the problem; it's the symptoms that can make life challenging.
By understanding and embracing our unique neurodiversity, we can design lives that honour our strengths and accommodate our differences, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
