Support for Parents Navigating Autistic Burnout Recovery

When burnout recovery feels slow, confusing, or wobbly, it can be hard to know what your child needs, what’s helping, or whether you’re doing enough.

If burnout recovery feels slow, or hard to make sense of, you are not alone.

I support parents of neurodivergent children and teens navigating autistic burnout recovery, masking, nervous system overwhelm, and ‘the long middle’ of recovery, where things can feel confusing, inconsistent, and emotionally exhausting.

Together, we move toward more understanding, less pressure, and steadier ways to support both your child and yourself.

You might be here because:

  • Your child is no longer in full crisis, but recovery still feels uncertain or slow.
  • Things seem inconsistent and hard to understand.
  • You keep wondering if you’re doing enough.
  • You feel like the emotional shock absorber for everyone around you.
  • You want support that feels compassionate, practical, and genuinely neuro-affirming.

 

Burnout recovery rarely happens in a straight line.
The long middle can feel incredibly lonely without the right support.

About Me

Hi, I’m Tanya.

I support parents of neurodivergent children and teens navigating autistic burnout recovery.

For over 25 years I’ve worked in education and human development, while also navigating burnout recovery alongside my own child.

I believe recovery cannot be rushed or forced. Nervous systems need safety before they can soften.

“I felt like I was drowning before I found Tanya.
Now I feel understood, supported, and like I actually have tools that work for my child.”

“This is the first time someone made me feel like I wasn’t a bad parent.
Tanya sees you and your child as whole people.
Her work changed our family.”
