Patty Laushman sat down with Canvas Rebel to share the story behind Thrive Autism Coaching — from its origins in her own experience parenting a neurodivergent son to building a coaching organization that helps autistic emerging adults and their families get unstuck and move forward with confidence.

Patty Laushman wrote this piece for MedCity News on why so many autistic adults don't receive a diagnosis until their 20s, 30s, 40s, or later — and why meaningful support remains out of reach even after they do. She makes the case that moving beyond awareness into real action benefits not just autistic individuals, but everyone around them.

Patty Laushman joined Debbier Reber on the FULL-TILT Parenting podcast to share practical strategies for helping neurodivergent emerging adults move toward greater independence. She discusses why understanding a child’s lived experience matters, how self-determination helps emerging adults move out of stuckness and burnout, and how the SBN™ parenting framework—Support, Boundaries, and Nudges—can help parents encourage growth without becoming controlling. Patty also talks about redefining independence as positive interdependence and why adjusting expectations and timelines can bring more hope, less shame, and better outcomes for the whole family.
