You Know You're Autistic -
From Masking to Meaningful Living—Let's Build the Life Your Autistic Self Deserves.
You don’t need more information.
You need steps that make sense for your brain.
You need support that feels like someone finally gets it.
So you can stop guessing—and start building a life that actually fits.
Because maybe you’ve spent months (or years) gathering information about autism, but daily life still feels like you’re stuck in someone else’s rules.
This isn’t about changing who you are.
It’s about learning how to live as your best autistic self.
That’s what the Next Steps Workshop is for—
A space where we stop collecting knowledge and start turning it into action.
This workshop isn’t another checklist or info session.
It’s where you’ll:
-
Discover what actually brings you joy (and how to make space for it)
-
Understand the patterns that keep you stuck—and how to gently shift them
-
Create a flexible plan for a life that supports your brain, not works against it
You’re not broken.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
And you don’t have to keep waiting to feel like your life fits you.

This Workshop is for You If...
-
You’ve recently realized you’re autistic and you want to stop wondering what that means for your life—and start living it in a way that feels like you.
-
You’re tired of just “pushing through” and want real strategies that support your needs (not more masking disguised as coping).
-
You’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’ve lost skills you once had—and you’re ready for a path that feels softer, more doable, and more you.
-
You want tools to help you clarify your needs, communicate them (even when others don’t get it), and protect your joy—without guilt or self-doubt.
-
You want support from someone who understands what it’s like to be late-diagnosed, to grieve lost time, and to finally say—without guilt or apology:
“This is who I am. Let’s build a life that works for me.”
If that’s you? You’re in the right place.
Let’s take the next step together.

Why This Workshop Works When Other Things Haven’t
You’ve read the books.
You’ve tried the worksheets.
Maybe you’ve even dipped your toes into things like ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)—only to feel like it was all written for someone else’s brain.
That’s because most approaches are designed from the outside in.
They tell you what you “should” do—without ever helping you figure out what actually fits you.
In this workshop, we do it differently.
This isn’t theory.
It’s a practical, flexible framework I’ve lived, not just studied.
It’s the same approach that helped me—and now helps other late-diagnosed autistic adults—move from:
-
Pushing through → to choosing actions that protect your energy
-
Numbing out or avoiding → to noticing what truly matters to you
-
Stuck in self-doubt → to gently shifting toward the life you want
You don’t have to “get” the theory for it to work.
You just need tools that feel doable—and made for your brain.
In fact, one past participant told me:
“I’d heard of ACT, but it always felt confusing. You explained it in the first 15 minutes better than anything I’d read before.”
This workshop is designed to make it feel clear, doable, and deeply human.
Because you deserve tools that feel like they were made for your brain.
Ready to stop fighting against yourself?
Let’s make life work for you—your way.
“Melissa’s gentle and friendly nature always reassured me and encouraged me… She has a deep understanding and always makes you feel heard and accepted.” - Previous event participant
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have:
-
A clearer picture of what actually brings you joy (and how to make more space for it—even in tiny, doable moments)
-
A flexible plan for spotting the patterns that keep you stuck—and gentle ways to shift them
-
Tools to help you choose actions that support your brain, your body, and your values (instead of working against them)
-
A sense of relief that you’re not broken—you’ve just been trying to live by someone else’s rules (and now you get to choose your own)
During the last workshop, before it even ended, a participant told me:“I’m so glad I’m here.”
And right away, others chimed in, "Me too"
Moments like that remind me—this isn’t just another info session.
It’s your next step toward living as your best autistic self—with tools that feel like they were made for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 Do I have to attend the workshop live?
Nope. You’ll get full replay access (plus all future upgrades)—so you can watch whenever works for you.
That said, I’ve found that people who attend live tend to get more out of the experience—it’s easier to stay engaged, ask your questions, and carve out that focused time for yourself.
If live attendance isn’t possible, I encourage you to set a date with yourself to watch the replay, so it doesn’t get lost in your to-do list.
You deserve that space.

Created by Someone Who Gets It—Because I've Been There, Too
Hi, I’m Melissa.
I’m a late-diagnosed autistic adult, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and someone who’s spent years helping neurodivergent people build lives that actually work—on their terms.
I know what it’s like to recognize your autistic identity and then think, Now what?—To want clear, practical steps but feel lost in a sea of information that doesn’t speak to your lived experience.
That’s why I created this workshop—to provide the guidance I wish I had when I was in your shoes.
This isn’t about forcing yourself to fit into someone else’s idea of success. It’s about helping you build a life that feels more like you.
You don’t need to prove you’re “autistic enough” to deserve support. You just need the right tools, and someone in your corner who truly gets it.
PS—You don’t have to keep figuring this out alone.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering how to actually live as your best autistic self, this workshop is your next step.
You’ll get the live experience, the replay, all the bonus tools, and all future upgrades—without extra cost, without overwhelm.
And remember, this is the only time the workshop will be offered at this price.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right” time, this is it.
