Does the load you carry as “that parent” in your neurodiverse family have you close to burn out?
Thank f*ck you’ve found me!
Hi I’m Lisa – and I’m going to be your new BFF!!
I’m an Autism Family Consultant and former Speech and Language Therapist but most importantly, a dedicated Mum to grown-up Autistic kids. And I’m quite simply passionate A.F. about Autism!
My mission is to empower parents like you to reject the unrealistic neurotypical expectations that society places on our Autistic children and to embrace intuitive parenting that aligns with the unique needs of your amazing kids. Because they ARE AMAZING!!!! (Hard work but amazing)
My Journey
They say don’t talk the talk if you haven’t walked the walk. Well I have 100% walked in your shoes. And what a journey it’s been. I understand how challenging it can be to face each day when you’re close to burnout, managing the load that comes with parenting a neurodiverse family.
I remember my lowest point. Sat on my Autistic son’s bedroom floor with my head in my hands as he had yet another horrendous meltdown. Wondering if he would ever be able to verbalise what was wrong. I was desperate to know if it was ever going to get better and didn’t know any other parents like me. Sound all too familiar?
But I have good news for you…..it can get better
My own journey with my Autistic children has been filled with learning and growth. I’ve seen them thrive and grow into incredible adults, living lives that suit their unique personalities.
Two of them are now Teachers and the third runs his own freelance train modelling business (A great example of what happens when we foster those special interests) This transformation required a significant shift in my perspective, but it was worth every step to see them living independent happy lives.
What I offer
With over 25 years of experience supporting families of Autistic children, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to help you on your journey. I’ve worked in various mainstream and special schools in advisory roles. As part of an Autism Outreach Team working with children at risk of exclusion. And as a former Speech and Language Therapist in the NHS and in private practice.
Thousands of families have made the shift by attending one of my workshops, working with me through my Membership, Parenting Experience or on demand courses. You are in very safe hands!
Why I Do This
Imagine this:
You feel more empowered to fight and advocate for your child
You have more knowledge to support your child in a way that helps them thrive as the amazing individual they are

You look forward to each day instead of worrying how bad it’s going to be
That’s the reality I want for you and I’m committed to being by your side, helping you make the necessary shifts to see your family thrive.
I don’t want you to make the same mistakes or wait as long as I did to see positive change. Together we can navigate this journey and find the path that best suits your family’s unique dynamic.
