We are tired of giving our loved ones books they won’t read and spoon feeding them ticktoks. This two-hour course will educate them about the basics of our internal experiences and why everyone has been unaware that we have been autistic all our lives, and how they can love and support us to stay in our lives in the years to come.

Rumination is the act of thinking in loops, replaying painful experiences until they grow heavier instead of lighter. For autistic people, this pattern is strongly linked to higher rates of depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, making it an urgent issue to understand. In this lightning course, I’ll break down exactly what rumination is, how to recognize it, how to stop it, and even how to use it for growth. Six concise videos (9–15 minutes each) give you the tools to transform rumination into resilience.

This course unpacks what it really means to self-identify as autistic, moving past stereotypes to explore science, lived experience, and identity. Across modules, we’ll clarify terms, examine late identification, dive into socialization differences, masking, traits, interests, and sensory experiences—all through research and real stories from autistic adults. Each lesson builds toward a deeper understanding of autism, culminating in a “license to explore” that empowers you to embrace your identity with clarity and confidence.

Cultivating Happiness is about building the skills to thrive no matter your circumstances. Through mindfulness practices, emotional intelligence, and metacognition, you’ll learn to better manage emotions, ease anxiety, and create a deeper sense of life satisfaction. These tools aren’t abstract—they’re practical strategies you can apply every day to feel more grounded, resilient, and fulfilled.
