Specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children and teens in autistic burnout recovery
There are so many conflicting thoughts and feelings swirling around in your head and heart right now…
During this vulnerable and anxiety-filled time, Autistic Burnout can affect your child in so many ways from loss of skills, and inability to do everyday things, to ‘school can’t’ and social withdrawal to self-harm or not wanting to be here anymore.
No one prepared you for this and it feels like you don’t know how to move forward from here.
“Am I doing the right thing?”
“How long will this last?”
“How do I help my child get better?”
These are the thoughts playing on a loop inside your head, as you worriedly watch your child who just seems to be getting worse.
“What if it will always be like this?”
Is the thought that keeps you up at night.
You are in one of the hardest parenting experiences you have ever been in.
You are struggling to find the right information and support, or even just someone who believes you or understands what Autistic Burnout is!
Even though others may not believe you, you know that Autistic Burnout is very real.
You feel isolated and your world has become very small.
You are exhausted!
Your child being in Autistic Burnout is having a huge impact on the rest of the family, your relationship with your partner and your own mental health as your child’s primary caregiver.
I know from personal experience how terrifying it can be to watch your child’s well-being decline due to Autistic Burnout and not know what to do to help them recover without a clear end in sight.
I have also seen my children come out the other side and be in recovery (and the things that it took to get them there).
This program is specially designed to give you the guidance, care and important information you need to understand Autistic Burnout and support your child’s recovery while you parent from the trenches and you need it most.
You will receive support from live group coaching sessions alongside an encouraging group of parents who intimately understand what you are going through.
6 x live online coaching sessions. These conversational, interactive sessions are conducted live on Zoom to allow you to ask questions, connect with and share your experiences with the other parents in the group. (Two sessions per week are available to support parents from different timezones)
6 x weekly education modules These modules are presented in short videos (closed caption included) for you to watch at your own pace. Audio files are also included so you can listen while on the go. Transcripts are included for each video.
Pocket Coaching. Receive support from me during the program between group coaching calls through Voxer group chat.
Access to a private community and group chat. This private and supportive online group chat is where you can share experiences, access peer support and ask Tanya and the other parents in the group questions about your child or family situation. (You will continue to have access to the group after the program ends)
Limited Spaces. The small group size allows you to get the individualised support you need and make genuine connections with the other families in the group.

I had been following Tanya’s Instagram account for several months, learning all I could about my young adult AuDHD daughter in burnout. We hit a crisis period recently so I reached out to Tanya for one-on-one coaching. It was a turning point for me as a mom. While all the things I was doing to help my daughter was intuitively correct, the anxiety and trauma from all of the years of trying to navigate my daughter’s issues had my own nervous system in complete collapse. In her gentle, loving, compassionate and knowledgeable way, Tanya helped me to understand what the reality of healing from burnout looks like.
I thought I would feel disappointed, sad, and scared, but instead, I felt empowered! There are so many things we can do to help our children! It doesn’t matter what neurotypical people think of our situation or my parenting. And it’s ok if it takes time – we will take it day by day, one step at a time. Instead of panicking and feeling hopeless, I now have the confidence that I can continue to be my daughter’s best advocate and that she can rely on me for her safety and support. Thank you, Tanya! Your coaching has been invaluable!
