Neurodiverse City Connection
Neuroaffirming life coaching focused on authentic connection
You work hard to communicate, but people still misunderstand you.
You think carefully about what to say, but it doesn’t come out right.
You want friends or a partner, but socializing feels stressful.
You try to act “normal,” but it feels fake and exhausting.
You feel anxious about being rejected or ignored.
Sick of feeling this way? Let's change it!
Hi, I'm Alex!
Neuroinclusive Life Coach
I look like this once a year when I'm invited to a fancy event:

Let me hyper-focus on helping you!
Communication and connection look different for everyone. What feels easy for some can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even exhausting for others. That’s where I come in.
I coach individuals one-on-one to explore their unique communication and connection goals. For some, that might mean feeling more confident starting conversations, finding friends who truly accept you, or dating with increased confidence. For others, it’s about setting healthier boundaries, navigating workplace or school transitions, or learning when and how to mask (or unmask) in ways that feel safe and authentic.
I especially love working with autistic adults, because I know how frustrating it is that society has spent so long trying to teach autistic people not to be themselves. The truth is, the world often isn’t built with neurodivergent needs in mind—and that makes daily connection harder than it should be.
I can’t change the world, but I can walk alongside you as you figure out what works best for you. My approach is never about “fixing” who you are. Instead, it’s about listening deeply, offering encouragement, and giving you tools and strategies that align with your personality, values, and goals.
Together, we’ll work on:
-Building the confidence to express yourself in ways that feel genuine
-Setting boundaries that support your energy and well-being
-Strengthening friendships, relationships, and workplace connections
-Developing strategies that fit your life—not someone else’s standard
If you’re ready to explore what authentic communication and connection can look like for you, I’d love to support you on that journey.
It's Not Your Fault!
The Double Empathy Theory, proposed by Damian Milton, suggests that communication difficulties between autistic and non-autistic (allistic) individuals are not solely due to a lack of empathy in autistic people.
Instead, it argues that communication breakdowns arise from a reciprocal disconnect in understanding due to differing communication styles, cognitive frameworks, and social expectations.
Essentially, it's a two-way problem where both groups struggle to understand each other's perspectives.
