Adult ADHD & Adult Autism Coaching Specializing in high school through adulthood.
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 high school or 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. We specialize in ADHD and autism coaching for high schoolers through all stages of adulthood. Our frameworks and strategies can help bring additional order and success to your life.
