Hello....! I’m a neurodivergent life coach, author, and educational advocate, with firsthand experience as a parent of a neurodivergent child. I understand the unique challenges you face, as well as the incredible strengths that neurodiversity brings to our children and communities. I’ve spoken at the California Teacher’s Association Special Education conference for the past five years, presented at colleges across the country, and tour my critically-acclaimed solo play about autism and education every April for Autism Awareness Month. My mission is to empower families, educators, and administrators to create inclusive, supportive environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive. I offer personalized strategies, practical tools, and compassionate guidance to help you navigate this journey with confidence, hope, and resilience. Together, we can foster understanding, promote meaningful growth, and celebrate the diverse ways our children learn and succeed. Let’s work collaboratively to ensure every neurodivergent individual is valued and supported to reach their full potential.

Dear Mr. Aymie,
Thank you for performing your play, A Child Left Behind, for our professional development series at the university. It was informative for our special education students as they prepare to work with students on the spectrum and their families. Our faculty reported that they used the play to also address important issues related to both special education and low socio-economic challenges. We truly appreciated the opportunity to work with you and provide this exceptional experience for our students and faculty.
With much appreciation,
