About AE+

"I know I need better tools to help my child, but I don't know where to start. The current strategies aren't working, they're often stressed and overwhelmed, and I need reliable guidance that I can access whenever I hit a wall."

AE+ is our ongoing advice and guidance program designed for parents of autistic children and teens. This is not therapy, and it's not a course. It's ongoing access to the practical tools, expert knowledge, and human guidance you need to navigate daily life with an autistic child.

When you subscribe to AE+, you get three powerful resources working together to help you find clarity, build stronger relationships, reduce stress, and create better outcomes for your entire family.

For just $65/month, you'll get immediate access to everything we offer - with no long-term commitment required. You can cancel anytime, but we're confident that once you experience the clarity and confidence that comes with having reliable support at your fingertips, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Complete Access to All AE Books & Courses

Your AE+ subscription includes immediate access to our entire digital library of courses and books - the same materials we've sold individually for years to help thousands of families worldwide.

Our comprehensive library covers essential topics like:

Understanding and getting out of Defense Mode
Building genuine motivation and engagement
Developing effective communication strategies
Supporting executive functioning development
Navigating transitions and building independence
Creating accountability without causing shutdown

These materials are created by autistic experts who've lived these experiences firsthand. They provide in-depth understanding and practical strategies that go far beyond what you'll find in typical parenting resources.

Group Q&A Office Hours (Twice Weekly)

Some questions need a human touch. That's why AE+ includes access to our live group Q&A sessions held twice each week with AE staff members (not volunteers).

These sessions provide:

Direct access to AE team members who understand autism from the inside out
A chance to ask specific questions about your situation and get tailored guidance
The opportunity to learn from other parents' questions and experiences
A supportive environment where no question is too basic or too complex

Sessions are held every Monday at 2:00 PM Pacific Time (5:00 PM Eastern) and every Wednesday at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (8:00 PM Eastern). Can't make it live? No problem! Recordings are sent out afterward so you can catch up when it's convenient for you.
