​​Why Autability Exists​
​
At Autability, our mission is to educate, train, and support those who parent or work with neurodivergent individuals. While there's no shortage of advice available, much of it still comes from a neurotypical perspective — which can overlook the real-world realities of being autistic or ADHD.
​
We believe the most powerful approach is a combination of lived experience and clinical accuracy. When personal insight is paired with professional knowledge, the result is training that is not only relatable and practical but also medically sound and trustworthy.
​
Meet the Founders
​
Autability is led by two directors, Charlotte and Danielle — both neurodivergent, both parents to neurodivergent children, and both deeply committed to reshaping how we understand and support autism and ADHD.
