PEACEFUL TOGETHER

A Five-Step Peace Practice for Families Supporting Autistic Young Adults

When adulthood feels uncertain, peace does not come from fixing everything. It comes from learning how to stay connected while everyone keeps growing.

Peaceful Together is a practical, compassionate guide for families who want calmer conversations, stronger trust, and a shared way forward during the transition to adulthood.

This resource includes both the written digital booklet and the full audiobook, so you can engage in the way that works best for your family.

When Adulthood Feels Heavy

If you are here, life may feel complicated right now.

Conversations may escalate faster than you expect.
Silence may linger longer than you want.
Everyone may be trying, and everyone may be tired.

For autistic young adults and their families, adulthood often comes with fewer structures, higher expectations, and more emotional strain.

There is nothing wrong with your family.

You are navigating a challenging season without a shared framework for peace.

INTRODUCING THE PEACE PRACTICE

What This Peace Practice Offers

This is not a behavior plan or a step-by-step fix.

It is a repeatable peace practice that helps families stay grounded, respectful, and connected, even when things feel messy.

Through real family stories and simple practices, you will learn how to:

Create emotional safety during stress and conflict
Pause reactions before they cause harm
Understand nervous system overwhelm and shutdown
Shift from control and pressure to collaboration
Repair trust after hard moments instead of avoiding them
Support independence without losing connection

You can return to this practice anytime life speeds up again.

What PEACE Really Means...

Peace does not mean quiet.
It does not mean agreement.
It does not mean no conflict.

Peace means emotional safety.

It is the ability to pause instead of react, to stay curious instead of controlling, and to repair after things go wrong.

Peace is what allows honesty, growth, and independence to unfold over time.

This is what the PEACE Practice was created to support.

Peaceful Together is built around a simple five-step framework families use again and again.

These steps are not rules.
They are anchors for hard moments.

Pause
Slow the moment before it turns into conflict.

Empathize
See what is happening beneath the behavior.

Align
Reconnect to shared goals instead of urgency.

Collaborate
Work as partners rather than opponents.

Experiment
Try small, low-pressure steps and learn together.

Through coaching, writing, and teaching, Lynn and her team guides parents and caregivers to shift from control to connection using her signature framework, The Peace Practice, five simple practices that help families transform conflict into calm.

“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

“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

You do not need to get it right.
