Bio
Autistic Coach & Mentor
I am a highly successful, though also highly challenged, Autistic adult, who was diagnosed very late in life. I am an Autistic parent of 2 Autistic children…one diagnosed, & one who ran into the gender-blindness of diagnosis.
I am an Autistic coach & mentor, an Autistic advocate, an Autistic board member with Life Guides for Autistics & Neurodiversity Foundation, & an AANE certified IACT Autistic coach. I’ve been a coach & mentor throughout my career as a technologist, as a multicultural change catalyst, & as an Autistic adult coach.

I’ve been a coach & mentor throughout my career as a technologist, as a multicultural change catalyst, & as an Autistic adult coach.
Like most of you, I've had successes, but also many challenges. I do not ascribe to the broken narrative about Autistics though. As Jac den Houting shares, "I am not disabled from being Autistic, but I am disabled by my environment".
I am proud & happy to have discovered that I am Autistic. I am not broken. I am not less than. I am as capable a human being as anyone, as are all Autistic people.

I’ve led a highly varied & different life than most Autistic adults…with many amazing successes, while challenged continually from many of our common Autistic differences. I’ve been successful despite living a life fully challenged by change. I’ve moved 30 times between cities. I’ve repeatedly been successful in rediscovering & reinventing myself. Unexpectedly, those experiences have allowed me to help others who found my experiences valuable in finding their own paths.
Let's connect to see if we can work well together.

My Clients
Family coaching client - “I met Robert five years ago in a meditation class. His warmth, honesty, knowledge on various topics, and candor immediately drew me to him. During that time, I also discovered that Robert is openly and proudly autistic. The reason that Robert being autistic was so important to me is that my fifteen-year-old son is also autistic. Robert has served as a reliable and truthful mentor as I have endeavored to parent my son in a respectful, holistic, and supportive way. Robert has also assisted me in preparing advocacy resources for special needs individuals in my Church. Robert is part of my soul family. “
