Learn Privately and at Your Own Pace

Living Careers offers self-paced education for adults and parents who want clear, compassionate information without the schedule or participation requirements of a live group.

Self-Paced Neurodiversity Class

Build practical skills from a deeper understanding of neurodivergence

Recognizing autism or ADHD can provide an explanation for experiences that have been present for years. This class is designed to help participants understand those experiences, identify their needs, strengthen self-advocacy, and build supports that fit their everyday lives.

The goal is not to become someone different. It is to understand and care for who you already are.

This class may be helpful for:

Adults

Adults who have recently received a diagnosis or begun recognizing autism or ADHD in themselves.

Parents

Parents seeking practical, affirming ways to understand and support a neurodivergent teen or adult child.

LGBTQ+ Learners

LGBTQ+ adults or families looking for education that respects the fullness of their lived experiences.

Self-Paced Learners

People who prefer privacy, flexibility, repetition, or additional time to process information.

The Neurodivergent Transition Program

Practical learning you can revisit

The class uses clear, accessible education to help participants:

  • Better understand how neurodivergence may appear in everyday life

  • Recognize personal strengths, needs, patterns, and preferences

  • Identify practical tools and supportive environments

  • Develop greater self-understanding and self-acceptance

  • Communicate needs with more clarity

  • Consider appropriate sources of ongoing support

This class is educational. It is not psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical care, or crisis support. Purchasing the class does not establish a therapist-client relationship with Danielle.
