Truth delivered with love.
That is what I give.
Begin to understand the impact of cultural identity and biases on the autistic experience. Having been down this path before, I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to receive an autism diagnosis for you or a loved one.
This is why I created a class to not only provide an introduction to what an autism diagnosis means, but also ways to lesson it’s impact on your life. Discover how cultural biases can color your experience.

Hey Sis!
I'm Dr Mary Jones, Life Coach & MD
As a devoted pediatrician, specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders, my focus is on guiding and supporting families who have received an autism or ADHD diagnosis. I am also a PCCI trained life and leadership coach.
