Meet your Autism Specialist

Hi! I'm Jonathan Alderson,
autism specialist, Harvard graduate, and author of Challenging the Myths of Autism.
I’ve seen remarkable success working with more than 2,000 autistic children and their families worldwide.
And every parent tells me they feel stuck. That school teachers and therapists spend more time managing their child’s behavior than teaching.
So their child isn't fully benefiting from these programs and they don't know what to do.
If this sounds like you, I know how stressed you must be. Don't worry. Your special child just needs a little help getting more ready to learn.
Most programs skip the prep, but YOU don't have to.
Your FREE, no strings attached, parenting course will give you the foundational skills to get started, then dive deeper with ThriveGuide, my autism parenting app.
ThriveGuide Identifies barriers that are getting in the way of YOUR child's learning and builds you a plan to resolve them.

I love it! My child has been on the assessment wait list for 2 years she's 3 now and I haven't heard a thing, so I really needed something to help and this really helped me so thank you!!

It made me aware of the fact that I'm not always thinking about the receptivity of my child when making requests and will more actively try to be aware of that going forward.

It gives you more of an in-depth look into the mind of your child all while giving you the tools to help them better succeed in life.

Very beneficial to assist me in identifying good and bad times to engage with my child and how to better get their attention to make requests for next steps in our day.

I loved the parenting course because it’s making me realize a lot with communication and how things need to be addressed in a mannerisms way in an environment where my son has short attention spans!

It is amazing I love that he shows you how to get on the child's level. A lot of ppl do not understand autism, so it's very helpful that he shows you what to do.
