FOUNDER & HEAD MENTOR

Robin is the founder of The Autistic Mentor. She is a certified professional life coach and a counselor-in-training working toward her licensure in CO. And she is #actuallyautistic!

After a “successful” 20-year career in business, technology, education, and curriculum development, Robin pursued her dream of being a counselor. Her path to focusing on the autistic community has been a personal journey of discovery.

Robin is the proud mom of an adolescent son with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD, level 1). With her background in education, her experience with her son, and her counselor education, she became an “expert” on autism - in males. It was years before Robin learned that girls and women on the spectrum present differently and that she is one of these women.

Robin received her official ASD (level 1) diagnosis with a sense of relief. Being autistic explains her many struggles in her career and personal life. Now, Robin wants to help others on the autism spectrum (and their people) realize their hopes and dreams while honoring their neurodiversity.
