I am a mother, wife, and HigherEd professional (Ed.D.) raising kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and giftedness. I have Dysgraphia (a form of dyslexia that affects writing) and ADHD. Since our kids were diagnosed I completed my doctorate and become a researcher. My dissertation focused on the Academic Transition and Success Experiences of College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), that critical move from high school to college.

As a parent, I’ve learned to navigate the educational system to support my teens' education, their needs for accommodations, and their career aspirations. I’ve also learned to listen, guide, and support other families starting similar journeys.

My family and I know how overwhelming it can be just to try and find where to begin researching how to support our kids. In the beginning, "you don’t know what you don’t know" (Rumsfeld, 2002). I also have non-visible disabilities, which has been a gift when it came to understanding and empathizing with my teens’ challenges, providing them with strategies they will use, and understanding the joy behind their successes.
