The Art of Adulting
A simple way to help your autistic young adult build a life they love—while you find peace again.
BOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALLYou love your autistic young adult more than life itself. But you worry.
Can they succeed in the work world?
Will they ever be able to handle life on their own?
What happens when you’re not around to help them?
 Right now, they’re stuck. Stuck in their room. Stuck on their screen. Stuck in a loop of anxiety and avoidance.
And let’s be honest—sometimes you feel stuck too.
You’ve tried everything: therapy, tutors, programs, advice from well-meaning friends. But nothing’s working.
Every day feels like a battle to get them to do things.
You’re exhausted from trying to persuade them. You don’t want to nag or criticize, but those feel like the only options.
I get it.
As a mom of six neurodivergent young adults, I’ve been in your shoes. The worry. The guilt. The endless “what ifs.”
But here’s what I’ve learned after 40+ years of parenting and thousands of coaching calls with families like ours:
They can learn to handle life. They can earn money. They can thrive on their own.
They just need the right kind of support—and so do you.
Introducing The Art of Adulting
A step-by-step program to help your autistic young adult build confidence, take ownership of their life, and move toward independence—with you as their mentor.
This isn’t about fixing them or forcing them to fit into a mold.
It’s about teaching them (and you!) to:
Understand what’s really going on inside their mind and body.
Build resilience to handle the ups and downs of life.
Practice tiny, doable steps toward their goals—without quitting.
No more nagging. No more guilt. No more trying to do it all alone.

“You are such a big help to our family, Lynn. Our daughter is doing much better. She’s taking post-secondary schooling (third try) and doing very well this time, plus enjoying it. Most importantly, our whole family’s connection with her is stronger than ever.” – Laurie 💜
“Lynn listens to my son and lets him talk without judgment. That means everything to him. He leaves their sessions with a smile on his face and a plan for the next day. And that means everything to me!” – JP 💜
“When I came to Lynn for help, I felt completely overwhelmed with how to help my daughter systematically learn the skills she’d need as an adult. Lynn held my hand, we took a deep breath together, and we started one step at a time. I’m still on the journey, but I sleep better at night knowing I have Lynn in my corner. She is truly a gift!” – Suzanne 💜
“Lynn has had a profoundly positive effect on our autistic son’s emotional state and development. She helped him build his confidence and capability, as well as our family’s overall emotional health and stability.” – John and Alana Barker 💜
Why It Works
Traditional approaches focus on short-term fixes: rewards, consequences, or rigid plans that don’t stick.
The Art of Adulting is different.
It helps them mentor themselves—learning to quiet the inner critic and build trust in their abilities.
It addresses the anxiety loop (uncertainty + lack of confidence) that keeps them stuck.
It’s designed for families like ours—ones who need clear, simple strategies to make real progress.
What Families Are Saying
Thomas and Paula
“I’ve learned to talk to myself as a friend and not as a bully.” (Thomas)
Â
"We both take a breath now. And we’re on the same page more often. Our household is doing remarkably better.” (Paula)
Andrew and Mary Beth
"I wanted help for Andrew. I was eager to try anything, because nothing was working. 25 years of books. It just didn't click. I can't do this alone, and he can't do it without any intervention. He has had his therapist for the last 15 years.
Â
He needs more. I needed more.
Â
I didn't know where I could turn. I needed ideas, and I needed someone who's been there and knows what they're talking about, not just someone with initials after their name. I want somebody who's lived it, and to know that we're not alone."
Sally
"I just want to thank you. You're a font of information and positivity and progressiveness about the future. You give hope to everyone in the group, whether their child is on board or not. It will happen someday and that is just wonderful."
