my AUDHD PARENTING STORY

How My Autistic Son Taught Me to Trust the Fire of Transformation

After 13 years of infertility, I discovered I was pregnant at age 37ā€”right as I was preparing to take the MCATs and transition into medical school. I had finally made peace with not being a mother. I had confidently entered university with a radical awareness of purpose-aligned systems I'd developed. My path seemed clear.

But the universe had other plans.

The Abyss of Identity Death

From early onā€”as early as eight monthsā€”I recognized signs that my son Arlyss was on the autism spectrum. As someone with a psychology degree and extensive experience working with children, I had the expertise to see what others missed.

But knowing and doing are different beasts entirely.

Despite my background and advocacy, Arlyss experienced medical neglect that forced me to fight for proper support for his disabilities. I had to put my entire business and career on hold, working 60+ hours per week just to get him the treatment he desperately needed.

The legal battles, custody fights, and constant advocacy consumed everything.

I was stripped down to my bones. Every certainty burned away. Every plan turned to ash.

The Phoenix Moment

But here's what I've learned about being stripped bare:

Sometimes it's only when everything burns that you can see what remains.

What remained was a truth I couldn't have accessed any other way:

The very systems designed to support neurotypical development aren't just failing neurodivergent individualsā€”they're failing all of us.

They're creating:

* Compliant workers instead of innovative thinkers

* Rule-followers instead of paradigm-shifters

* People-pleasers instead of truth-tellers

And in that realization, I found my next-level purpose.

The Alchemical Transformation

After gaining full custody, we created a holistic support system for Arlyssā€”from morning routines to school accommodations to an entire sensory room in our dining room. He's thriving at school with incredible teacher support. He's a whole new kid.

But I emerged as a whole new person too.

This transformative journey burned away everything that came before to create something entirely new. While Arlyss is still Arlyss, I emerged with an expanded mission:

  • Not just helping people align with their purpose

  • But understanding on a bone-deep level how to support those who are different

  • How to advocate fiercely for authentic expression

  • How to create systems that nurture genius instead of compliance

THE UNIVERSAL TRUTH

Here's what I discovered through fire:

The work of creating aligned support systems, Refusing to accept the status quo, And fighting for authentic expression...

It's ALL connected to my core mission of helping people transition into their truest purpose and contributions.

Because what neurodivergent individuals need to thrive is exactly what ALL humans need to access their genius:

  • Safety to be fully themselves

  • Freedom to express authentically

  • Support to explore and experiment

  • Space to process and integrate

  • Permission to break the mold

The Call Forward

Maybe you're feeling it too:

  • That tension between who you are and who you're expected to be

  • That knowing there must be more than compliance and conformity

  • That yearning to express your full, wild, authentic self

Perhaps you've been culturally conditioned to view your differences as flaws. Your intensity as too much. Your sensitivity as weakness. Your complexity as a problem to solve.

But what if those very traits are your greatest gifts?

What if the parts of you that don't fit are exactly what the world needs?

Your Invitation to Transform

This is your invitation to:

  • Stop apologizing for being "too much"

  • Quit forcing yourself into boxes too small for your spirit

  • Create space for your true genius to emerge

My mission is to provide you with valuable resources, real-life insights, and actionable tips to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the strengths of raising a neurodivergent child and/or a child on the spectrum. 

The journey won't be easy. It will strip you down to your bones. It might burn away everything you thought you knew.

But on the other side of that fire? That's where your true purpose lives. That's where your genius emerges. That's where you find the work you're really here to do.
