Are you ready to stop guessing in your relationships?

Ready to stop looking for tricks and instant communication hacks?

Ready for genuine, solid learning and consistent results?

Hungry to go deeper and deeper into the hidden world of communication & relationship?

The Coaching Café Academy is a structured online communication & relationship training facility that is fully supported by actually autistic & ADHD instructors, combined with a vibrant community. A monthly membership to keep you immersed in authentic connection, fully supported so you never feel alone on this journey, and to keep you encouraged and on target in achieving your goals.

No one seems to ‘get it’. Friends think you’re wrong and can’t possibly be autistic or ADHD. Family looks disapprovingly at the stacks of books you’ve started reading. It can take a lot of strength to keep going.

(It was years before I told ANYONE about being autistic ADHD for fear of the responses.)

Well, that’s NOT what you’ll experience in the Coaching Café Academy. We’ve created a magical online space where your unmasked and authentic true self can shine out, where no question is wrong, where no problem is dismissed, where no dream is too big, a place where…

WHY DID WE CREATE THE ACADEMY?

I’ve been on my own late identified Autistic ADHD journey since 2014. As a result, I know JUST the kind of real neurodistinct things you’re looking for and what you will need to live your best autistic ADHD life unmasked and thriving.

Ali has been on her Neurodistinct ADHD journey since discovering after 3 years with her therapist, while working on her doctorate, that her therapist just thought she knew she was ADHD. 

We know you want…

• To gain a greater POWER over your lives
• To get more consistent results with MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
• To be able to HELP the ones you love
• To be more at PEACE within yourselves
• And to gain a greater UNDERSTANDING of this world and others and of ‘how life really works’

Ever since beginning Mind Your Autistic Brain and the Coaching Cafe, we’ve both been asked constantly when we’ll run more programs, more coaching, support calls, workshops respectively and together… The problem is, there’s only two of us. 

So how could we make this work? How could we continue to create, write books about being late identified autistic ADHD humans and our unique relationship and communication styles AND coach people AND share our latest cutting-edge techniques and insights AND keep in touch with EVERYONE?

If only everyone were in ONE PLACE.

If only there was one central hub that housed it all.

If only we had ONE home for all our Neurodistinct teachings.

Well now there is!

We created an online Coaching Café Academy, a central hub for all our latest Neurodistinct Relationship & Communication teaching – a lively, positive community of NeuroDistinct-minded people all supporting, encouraging and even collaborating with each other, all over the world.

One place for everyone hungry to learn more about the human experience and the world to really come together.

One home for all who want to become more deeply connected to themselves and to others and discover more about this fantastic methodology we call The Communication EcoSystem.

A friendly, engaged and empowering community, where you can meet other late identified autistic ADHDers, learn cutting-edge relationship, communication and Self-Care training, be encouraged, get support and support one other.

A place where we can inspire and empower each other, and go on the journey of personal growth and pursuing our dreams – together.

So we can all feel truly connected on our Neurodistinct journeys.

But then…

… You wake up ‘feeling sort of off’ and it all goes down the drain fast

… Your colleagues or family are doing everything they can to bring you down

… A flashback or trigger comes crashing into your life, leaving you frightened and exhausted

… Anxiety or depression kicks in and you have a panic attack, meltdown, or shutdown or you get sick and everything is at a stand still under a weighted blanket.

… ‘Life’ gets in the way, normal activities resume and everything starts to feel stale, flat and ordinary. Normal life resumes.

In other words,

JUST when you thought you had it figured out

JUST when you finally thought you were getting on top of things.

Just when you thought you were really getting somewhere with this late identified life business…

You lost it!

You’ve lost your grounding, your motivation, your direction!

It’s heartbreaking, soul-destroying. And it’s when many people simply give up.

We’re here to make sure that NEVER happens again.

We’re here to give you the consistency, the support and the external processes for our unique way of learning that means you’ll NEVER feel lost, NEVER feel alone, NEVER feel ashamed and NEVER feel like giving up again.

Because we know EXACTLY how this feels. (I’ve been there more times than I can count) And we know that most of the time, you don’t NEED a massive intervention, a six-week silent retreat or a major epiphany.

I WANT THIS!!! PURCHASE NOW

My name is Carole Jean Whittington and most of you know me as Social Autie, host of the Mind Your Autistic Brain Talk Show and Community. I’m a world-renowned Autistic Burnout Restoration Coach and the creator of The UnVeiling Method for Late Identified Autistics.

I’m the one who’s ‘got it all’ wonderful family, authentic relationships, and I have built a business doing what I love in a way that works for my autistic ADHD brain.

But here’s the thing…

MY LIFE DIDN’T START OUT WONDERFUL

I was not born with any of this. I have led a FAR from charmed life, experiencing poverty & bankruptcy, chronic illnesses, depression, abusive relationships and crippling debt.

But now, I look back and can hardly believe that difficult life was mine.

The debts are dwindling

The illnesses are under control

The abusive partners are history.

The bouts of extreme depression and suicidal ideations are a thing of the past.

I’m joyful almost all the time in most circumstances

But I’m not special. I’m not different or remarkably talented.

I’m just an ordinary autistic person like you.

The only difference is…

I UNDERSTAND HOW  MY NEURODISTINCT MIND WORKS AND I WORK WITH IT

And I’ve created an entire academy with my partner Ali Arena just so that you can learn to master your beautiful and wonderfully perfect autistic brain too.

If you’ve ever felt different, broken, like there’s something missing or wrong that stops you from being joyful & happy, you’re going to LOVE the Coaching Café Academy.

Hi, I am Ali Arena Perkinson and I’m a therapist, social communication detective, behavior pattern detector, life long learner, proud #ADHER, dog mom, champagne & pizza  woman, and my specialty is neurodiverse communication.

The way I found out I had ADHD was by a beautiful accident. I was at my therapist’s office, venting about how I just can’t seem to keep up with all the expectations of getting my doctorate, being a girlfriend, and flying back to New Jersey to be in 10 weddings (yes that is correct 10), and my therapist who I had known for three years says, “Well yes, that’s your ADHD.”  I laughed and said, “I don’t have ADHD,” and she awkwardly backtracked and went “Oh, I just assumed we both were under the impression you’d been diagnosed since you were little.” 

I later learned, because I am a therapist, I was already adding in so many therapeutic supports to my own life that I viewed everything I experienced as “normal” but other people saw it as therapeutic interventions. I then took a battery of tests (because I am a nerd and love neuropsychology testing), found a great psychiatrist, and a medication that works for me.  

I think more about my executive dysfunctions and plan around them now. This new understanding of me now helps when I put on my ADHD glasses and view those areas where I was feeling shame about finances, meal planning, and hating being at parties.  I am so lucky to have a partner who works with my quirks and allows me to test strategies that help other neurodivergent couples. 

I am just a girl who has found some answers and I am here to share them with you.

FAQ

I’ve already done the Coaching Cafe Communication EcoSystem and read all the elements and done the workbook. Is the Academy just the same stuff?

Nope. The Academy will feature new material representing our most recent findings and developments in Neurodistinct understanding as well as taking the material from our previous Coaching Café Live Sessions and going deeper than before with elements and new insights we haven’t shared yet..

How much time do I have to commit? I’m very busy already.

I know what it’s like to sign up for a program or membership and be instantly overwhelmed at how much I have to do to ‘catch up’. So we are focusing very much on quality over quantity. ONE great teaching, ONE great challenge or workshop and ONE Q&A call per month. Precise, deep, powerful training. No filler. No fluff. No pointless extras.  And because the archives are available you can go at your own pace. There will be various learning modalities from audio to video with Closed Captioning and text.

Can I join later, this isn’t the right time for me?

We are opening the doors on Feb 14th and our Kick Off Event Meet and Greet Celebration is Friday, Feb. 18th.  You don’t want to miss this!!  The Academy will be accessible only through May 31st to give you time to join when it is best for you and you will have access to the previous month’s archives, however the live training and teaching along with live question and answer sessions will be focused on the current month’s topics.  If there is time we will gladly and happily answer your questions from other topics we’ve covered to date.  It’s likely we will open the doors again at some point next year, but for now this is only a 6 month membership term.  The price will certainly rise over the next few months as this is a very high touch and interactive membership and we want to offer you an opportunity to join at an introductory Founder's rate today. By joining now, you get that price locked in for the entire length of your current membership but only if you join as a 6 month Pay in full member PLUS you get ONE MONTH FREE at the end to continue accessing the recording and one additional live zoom coaching call.

I really don’t like Instagram. How can I join in the community?

This was a tough decision as we know a lot of people don’t want an online profile. We aren’t big fans of Facebook and found that we both love Instagram and have met most of you there so setting up a Private Instagram Community where only Coaching Café Members have access is the best solution we have found.  Instagram is much easier to navigate than FB and it has an easy to access and follow feed where you don’t feel like you’ve missed info or posts.  We ask you to consider keeping an Instagram profile simply for the purposes of participating in the community. 

What sort of subjects will we be covering?

We’ll cover a different subject every month from our one of a kind Neurodistinct Communication EcoSystem, from Communication Styles, Relationship Types to creating healthy boundaries.  We’ll deal with thought distortions, fear and trauma…right through to clarifying your values and personal zone of safety.  If you have a PARTICULAR topic you’d like covered, just let us know and we’ll consider it for inclusion in a future session.

Do I get immediate access to all the modules?

No, each module has a specific release date. This keeps you and us on pace while providing accountability to the whole group. It also ensures that you’re all in the same place when it’s time for group coaching and special guests. We structured this course because we are also Neurodistinct and we know how tempting it is to plow through the information.  This fast consumption can be overwhelming at best and worse it denies the time we all need to process, digest and allow information to percolate for those insights and shifts that make learning serve us.  We have removed the temptation to binge and have created a space where you can take a deep breath and just enjoy the pace and the community connection that builds over time.

I can’t afford $X per month. Why can’t you make it free for people on benefits?

The sad fact is that as our programs have grown, it costs more and more for us to run. It is literally impossible for us to run such a program for free. But more importantly, it’s a strange psychological truth, but when we get things for free, we tend to value them less, put less effort into them and get poorer results. When we pay a LOT for something, we tend to value them more, and put in a lot more time and commitment, squeezing every last drop of goodness from what we have bought. So we get better results. We’ve tried to price this at a level that means there’s just enough of a price tag to make you put in the effort, but at a cost that (almost) everyone can afford.

Can I cancel at any time?

Because this is a live program, refunds are not available.  As a monthly subscriber you can cancel your membership after your 3 month minimum subscription term commitment has been met by emailing us at carolejeanw@socialautie.com with the subject line Cancel, or you can choose to continue your membership on a monthly basis through to the end of the term in August 2022. We will email you 2 weeks before your 3 month term expires to give you additional options to continue or to cancel.
