Hey guys hey! In this episode of Adulting with Autism, we’re talking all things autistic life coaching, transitions, and empowerment with the amazing Doug Blecher, founder of Autism Personal Coach.

Doug joins us to share how his Autistic-led coaching team helps teens and adults navigate real-world challenges like independence, executive functioning, sensory overwhelm, career exploration, and more—without the pressure to “fit in” to neurotypical expectations.

💡 In this episode:

  • What real autism support looks like for teens & adults

  • Why coaching is different from therapy—and who it's for

  • Tips for parents learning to step back so their kids can step up

  • How to identify red flags in transitional programs

  • Why sensory support > social scripts

  • Building community, routines, and support systems that actually work

This one’s for autistic adults, parents, and professionals ready to unlearn what doesn’t serve—and build something that does.

🎁 Plus, we're celebrating Autism & OT Awareness Month with 30 days of content and a giveaway for the 1,000th person to join our Discord—custom merch + a $100 Visa gift card!
