MY STORY 

Somewhere between the therapies, the endless waitlist calls, and the nights spent wondering if I was doing enough, I realized something:

The system wasn’t built for families like ours.

It was built on silos — where autism, ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences were treated separately, even though they often overlap. And parents like us were left to connect the dots on our own, while trying to hold everything else together.

When I started out, the internet was new and the information was sparse.

For parents today, it’s the opposite — an overwhelming flood of articles, opinions, and unsolicited advice. Both extremes left me dizzy, just in different ways.

I didn’t know what I didn’t know in the beginning… and it turns out, that was a lot.

It wasn't the plan, but it became my purpose.

But the more I learned about neurodiversity, the easier it became to understand my own and others’ behaviors — at home, at work, and at school.

Communication styles that clashed even when everyone agreed. The theoretical debates over social niceties. The moment your child says, “I already showed them I can do the math; why do I have to keep doing the same problems over and over?” Or trying to teach a child about respect when they’re not being equally respected themselves.

Maybe that was just our story.

But if any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Over the years, I became the person other parents called for advice, guidance, and sometimes just to cry it out. I realized I had gathered not just knowledge — but a blueprint.

That’s when Life on the A List was born.

Not as a business, but as a lifeline — a place where parents could find the help I’d spent years piecing together the hard way. I hope we can help you too.
