Case Study
I Was At My Wit's End
"Hi, my name is Terra. I began working with Danny when my son was 14 years old as an eighth grader in junior high, and I had arrived at my wit's end on how to find support and guidance for my family and my son, there was tension in the home. I was being contacted regularly by school. And the work with Danny helped give me the perspective that I needed to start creating the guidance and support that my son, that helped my son and our family to get through some of the tougher periods.
Now we have the tools that we need when we find these moments where emotions overwhelm the situation the language that Danny uses, any area there it's over and over and over again, until I was able to unfold some of the patterns I was using in the home and restore, restructure them to be supportive to myself and to my son.
And we worked with Danny for six months and it absolutely changed the home environment and how to be at even more clear on how to even be a better advocate for my son in the school system. And I just can't speak highly enough about the support that Danny offers in this coaching and the perspective that he gives on how to better support your, your child's wellbeing.

How Our Coaching Process Works
Start with a Conversation
It begins with a short application, followed by a scheduled chat to understand your family's unique situation. There's no cost or obligation — just a chance to connect and explore whether we're the right fit for each other.
Tell Us What's Really Going On
This is your space to share, without judgment, without rushing. We'll listen, ask questions, and begin identifying the deeper patterns behind what's happening at home, at school, or in daily life.
Join the Program
If it feels like a fit, you'll be invited to join our coaching program. It starts at $5,550 for 3 months of unlimited coaching for you and your family, and includes ongoing guidance, structured planning, and hands-on support every step of the way. No guesswork. No trying to do this alone.
Work Side-by-Side
From here, we build a practical, personalized plan together — and stay with you as it unfolds. Whether you need help with school transitions, family dynamics, executive functioning, or emotional regulation, we're in this with you for the long haul.
"Through AE, I learned it wasn't the behavior that was the problem. It was what was triggering the behavior. I've had to explain this to family members and friends who say, 'Why don't you make her do it? Just take away the internet, or just take her devices away, or refuse to let her do X, Y, or Z?' They don't understand."
You Don't Need To Do This Alone
We're here and ready to help. Other people that we've worked with have found that access to experienced support makes all the difference.
"I was struggling to understand the meltdowns... Then I learned the actual triggers and early warning signs. Now I can prevent the most difficult situations before they escalate"

Who Our Coaching Is and Isn't For
Understanding our service boundaries helps ensure we can provide the best support
Coaching Is For...
- Families seeking ongoing support and practical strategies for autism-related challenges
- People who can plan ahead and schedule appointments with at least 24 hours notice
- Those willing to actively participate in the coaching process (even if your child isn't ready to engage yet)
- Clients who can regularly work within our availability (9am-5pm Pacific Time, Monday-Friday)
- Those seeking experienced guidance based on lived experience, not medical advice
"If you're looking for practical, experience-based guidance and are willing to actively participate in the process, our coaching can be transformative for your family."
Coaching Is Not For...
- Those needing emergency or crisis intervention services — if you're in crisis, please contact emergency services
- People seeking immediate, on-demand responses. We require 24-hour notice for phone appointments.
- Those seeking medical, therapeutic, or legal advice. We are not doctors, therapists, or lawyers
- Clients who need regular support outside of our business hours (9am-5pm Pacific Time, Monday-Friday)
- Parents who are completely unwilling to engage in learning new strategies (but we absolutely help parents whose kids are resistant!)
"If you're in need of immediate or emergency assistance, we recommend contacting a licensed medical professional or emergency services."
Important Note About Our Service
Our coaching is designed to complement, not replace, professional healthcare services. While we can help with daily challenges, communication strategies, and practical autism support, we cannot provide clinical advice or emergency intervention.
In extenuating circumstances, we may be available outside regular hours, but this should not be expected as part of our standard service. We're most effective when working with clients who can plan ahead and actively engage in the coaching process.

"AE gave me the tools, support, encouragement, and belief I required to show up as the loving, compassionate, emotionally sovereign parent (and human) I've always dreamed of being.
Before I found AE, I felt I'd tried everything... courses, behavior modification plans, medications, therapists, extra curricular activities.… so many things. Everything before AE felt like a bandaid."
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of advice can I expect?
We are not doctors, lawyers, therapists, or medical professionals. We don't provide medical, legal, or therapeutic advice and do not provide medical treatment including medication, diagnosis, therapy, or other medical interventions.
Instead, we offer guidance on daily, real-world autism challenges—things like communication struggles, meltdowns, school issues, independence, and navigating everyday life.
Our advice comes from lived experience and professional expertise in autism coaching, not from a clinical or medical perspective.
How much does it cost?
Our coaching program starts at $5,500 for 3 months of unlimited coaching for your entire family. This includes access to our expert coaches, personalized guidance, and support for everyone in your household. We stand behind our service with prorated refunds if you're not completely satisfied with the results.
Do you offer scholarships or work with regional centers or insurance?
At this time, we do not accept insurance or work with regional centers, and we do not offer scholarships.
Do you take insurance?
We are not a medical provider, so we do not take insurance. If you are in Australia, our services may be covered by your NDIS funds. If you are in the US, our services may be covered as part of your state/county disability services allowance.
When is payment due?
Payment is due in full before we begin coaching, but we require everyone to first apply and have a free consultation with us to ensure we're a good fit for each other.
