Description

I offer 11 Mentor Methods to support parents of autistic young adults transitioning from school to earning money and running their life. I share my personal experiences and those of the members of The Art of Adulting. including 12 actionable tools to address common challenges: setting clear goals, building self-advocacy skills, and fostering resilience.


Key points include:



  • The importance of structure and mentorship for autistic young adults post-graduation.

  • Techniques for managing stress, improving listening skills, and encouraging action.

  • Practical tools like the “3-2-1 Power Up” and “Life GPS” to help set and achieve goals.

  • A focus on balancing firm expectations with warm support to address procrastination and catastrophizing with compassion.


The Mentor Mindset emphasizes collaboration between parents and their young adults, self-reflection, and long-term resilience for building the life we want together.
