PEACEFUL TOGETHER

A Five-Step Practice for Calmer Conversations and Real Collaboration in Neurodivergent Families

When autistic/neurodivergent young adults move toward independence, family life often becomes harder — not easier.

Conversations escalate. Emotions spike. Everyone wants safety, but no one knows how to slow things down.

Peaceful Together offers a compassionate alternative.

In this practical, story-rich booklet, autistic mom and adulting coach Lynn Davison introduces The Peace Practice — a five-step framework that helps neurodivergent families reduce conflict, rebuild trust, and collaborate 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 love an autistic/neurodivergent young adult, you may feel like your family is constantly stuck in tension.

Every conversation turns into an argument.
Simple requests spark shutdowns or meltdowns.
You want to support independence but everything feels like a power struggle.

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

You’re exhausted. They’re overwhelmed.
And everyone is afraid of making things worse.

There is nothing wrong with your family.

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

Peaceful Together was written for this exact moment.

INTRODUCING THE PEACE PRACTICE

What This Peace Practice Offers

This is not a behavior plan.
It’s not about compliance, fixing, or “getting them to listen.”

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

Through real family stories, practical practices, and body-based regulation tools, you will learn how to:

Reduce conflict without giving up expectations
Create emotional safety when emotions run high
Support independence without controlling or rescuing
Shift from control and pressure to collaboration
Repair trust after hard moments instead of avoiding them
Collaborate instead of argue — even under stress

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

Peaceful Together shows you how to slow the moment down before it becomes a collision and how to keep moving forward together.

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. This guide will give you a shared language, a clear framework, and a way forward.

Peace isn’t a destination. It’s a practice.

And you can learn it — together.

About Lynn Davison

Lynn Davison is an autistic mom of six living neurodivergent adult children and the founder of the Art of Adulting, where she helps families build emotional safety, confidence, and collaboration on the road to self-directed interdependence.

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.

Her compassionate, practical approach blends personal experience with relational intelligence, mindfulness, and movement-based regulation practices. She teaches that peace isn’t about perfection; it’s about staying present enough to keep learning together.

“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.
