""Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got." – Janis Joplin"

It's not a slogan.
It's a statement.

For Individuals - It’s an ENCOURAGEMENT to:

  • Pursue meaningful connection without losing your sense of self.

  • Unapologetically advocate for your needs and boundaries.

  • Embrace your quirks as parts of your personality – not as problems to solve.

For Parents, Professionals and Allies - It’s a PLEDGE to:

  • Uphold the right to individuality in all its forms.

  • Foster growth and development while safeguarding what makes each person unique. 

  • Respect each person’s voice, opinions, and lived experience.

Be Authentically You.
The 7th key concept and
the heart of the EDGE Approach.

I’ve spent my career working with teens and young adults who live between two worlds. They’re bright, kind and insightful, but they struggle socially.  Over and over again, they’ve told me: “I’m autistic… but not autistic enough.”

Not Autistic Enough: Striving to Thrive in a Social World introduces the EDGE Approach—my practical, time-tested framework for teaching social skills in group settings. It’s the work I’ve been doing for years, and I’m beyond excited to finally share it.  It is filled with real stories, ready-to-use tools, and a mindset shift for anyone supporting this exceptional population.
