Denver Adult ADHD & Adult Autism Coaching

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.

ADHD and Autism Counseling for individuals and couples

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. Our adult ADHD and adult autism counselor and coach, Tommy Underhill, is AuDHD and has raised ADHD and autistic children. As a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, he draws from both training and his first-hand experience when providing clients tools and strategies for living with adult ADHD and adult autism.

ADHD is highly genetic. If your kids have ADHD, then there is a good chance you or your partner could have ADHD. You or your partner could benefit from adult ADHD coaching if you struggle with restlessness, organization, time management, focus, distractibility, or forgetfulness. Without frameworks and strategies, relationships can struggle and experience problems.

Communication and Relationship counseling

Communication. Intimacy. Sex. ADHD and autism can drastically affect the three pillars of relationships. We have the resources to help.

When one partner in a relationship has adult ADHD, the non-ADHD partner may experience anger and frustration with the their partner and the relationship. Ownership of one’s feelings and letting go of the false pretense that all the problems are “the other partner’s fault” is an important first step in rediscovering why the two if you fell in love and rebuilding the relationship. Adult ADHD coaching can help both partners rediscover the joy in their relationship.

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 in and around Denver.
