Dough Blecher
When you’re Autistic, the world isn’t designed with your unique traits in mind and everyday demands can feel insurmountable. At Autism Personal Coach, we provide Autistic adults and teens hard to find support to live self sufficient and purpose-driven lives through our private coaching and community events.
After graduating with a degree in psychology, Doug Blecher saw an ad to work with Autistic children and immediately answered the call, falling in love with what would later prove to be his life purpose. After years of training and working with Autistic children, Doug noticed a troubling trend…Autistic teens and adults had very few resources and very little support in transitioning into independent living.
Geoff Evans
Geoff began his career in autism over 35 years ago and gained considerable experience in working with autistic children and adults across the autism spectrum. Geoff’s extensive experience has been used by universities, the NAS, and local authorities. Geoff delivers training, coaching and mentoring to teachers, social workers and other professionals and to autistic individuals.
Jaclyn Hunt
I realized at a young age that I had a gift. I could actually feel the emotions of others around me. At times that could be confusing and overwhelming, but as I matured and honed my skills I was better able to separate my "stuff" from the rest of the world's. To this very day I could go sit on a bench in the park, or the mall, and within 15 minutes someone will sit next to me and begin to tell me his/her life story.
Naturally, I became interested in people and began to study psychology at Rutger's University and then went on to earn my Master's degree in the Behavioral Sciences with a specialization in Psychological Services at Kean University.
Nicky Collins
I'm Nicky, The Autism Coach, I live in the UK with my teenage son and my very vocal cat Snippit. I was 34 when I realised that I am autistic and ADHD.
After the initial shock of my difference wore off, I had one aha moment after the other, as I started to realise why I did some of the things I did. It showed me that my differences were perfectly normal to my brain type.
