The Problem Facing Parents of Autistic Children
According to your child's teacher, they're one of the most well-behaved kids in the classroom.
They raise their hand, say please and thank you, and are never in any trouble. It's hard to believe, because the person who walks through your door at 4:15 is a completely different person, yelling and screaming before their shoes are even off.
You're trying not to take it personally, but it feels impossible, and before you know it, you're giving it right back to them.
This is not a You problem.
Nobody ever taught you what to actually do in that moment, because almost everything out there is aimed at controlling your child's behavior instead of giving you a plan for staying regulated yourself.
This workshop fixes that, in one session.
What You Walk Away With
This is a working session, so bring your child's specific triggers, because you'll be building your plan in real time.
By the end of 90 minutes, you'll have:
Your trigger map
Identify what's getting activated in you when your child is dysregulated, so you can catch your own reaction before it takes over.
Your before-the-meltdown toolkit
The specific regulation technique you'll practice and default to, built around your real triggers rather than a generic breathing exercise.
Your during-the-meltdown script
Exactly what to do and what to stop doing in the moment.
Your after-the-meltdown reset
How you release the stress that's built up in you so you're not primed to blow up at the next small thing.
This workshop is for you if:
➔ You are the mother of an autistic child between the ages of 5 and 18, who shuts down, or becomes aggressive, and you freeze in the moment or freak out immediately
➔ You've tried staying calm, but you end up either imploding or exploding (and sometimes both!)
➔ You've got no shortage of advice on managing your child's behavior, but none of it tells you how to actually stay the calm, co-regulating anchor when your child is losing it.
➔ You want practical steps you can use right away (not theories or platitudes).
About Lisa
I'm Lisa Candera, a practicing attorney, certified life coach, and solo mom to a teen with severe autism and OCD. I've spent 18 years in the autism parenting trenches and have coached over 100 moms through theirs.
For years, my plan was to out-research, out-resource, and out-run autism, because I believed that if I just did enough, my son would be okay.
Enough never came, and I spent a long time co-escalating right along with him, ashamed of how I reacted.
That's how a lawyer became The Autism Mom Coach.
I don't teach you how to fix your kid. I teach you how to regulate yourself first, so you can be the steady, grounded presence your kid needs, even in the hardest moments.
What Clients Are Saying
"It was the mindset that I needed to help my son. I was depressed and at my lowest, thinking, 'I'm a bad mom, I can't help him.' After working with Lisa, I know how to help him through it, and I don't take it personal anymore. I'm looking forward now rather than backwards."
Cindy D, mom of a 10-year-old son
"I have a new confidence in my ability to parent. My feelings of guilt were leading me to act in a way that wasn't to my son's benefit. Lisa helped me let go of any self-judgment and focus on what is best for him."
Rachael E, mom of a 7-year-old son
"I'm able to be more present for my son and have more fun together. I was at my wit's end with my emotions and frustrations. Lisa had all the practical answers and challenged my thoughts in a way that felt really productive."
Jamie F, mom of a 5-year-old son

Frequently Asked Question
Is this live or a recording?
It's live, and everyone who registers gets the full replay. Attending live is HIGHLY encouraged since that's where you get real-time coaching on your own situation.
When is it?
October 8th at 7pm ET.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself and your child's specific triggers. If you want to get the most out of it, have a few real recent moments in mind so you can build your plan around them, not a hypothetical kid.
What if my child's situation looks different from what you're describing?
Every kid's triggers are different, but the before, during, and after process works across situations because it's a framework, not a single script. You'll leave knowing how to apply it to your specific kid.
I already know the general advice. Will this still help me?
This is exactly who the workshop is for. Autism moms don't need more generic advice and strategies for their child. They need to know how to regulate themselves so they can implement the strategies they already have more confidently, consistently and effectively.
What happens after the workshop?
You'll leave with a plan you can use immediately. If you want more support after that, I'll share ways you can work with me at the end of the session.
MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
I know how valuable what I'm teaching you is. But you don't have to take my word for it.
Come to the workshop. Build your Before, During, and After plan. See for yourself.
