Coming Soon
The Autistics Anonymous
Business Academy
I've been in the business realm for 15 years, and let me tell you, it was not an easy journey for me starting out. You see, I was autistic ADHD --- and although I had technical skills, I didn't understand the neurotypical way of doing business until I learned the very hard way.
​
With the autistic unemployment rate being so high, we often find ourselves begging companies to hire us...to see value in who we are and what we can do.
​
I gotta be honest: my community begging others to find us valuable doesn't sit right with me.
​
I thought, "What if I take all of the skills I've learned over the years, from negotiations, to interviewing, to reading and writing contracts, to operations, budgeting, etc. --- and taught the autistic community in a way that works for their brains? Taught entrepreneurship skills so they can create something wonderful?"
April 2025?
The days of begging for opportunities are over, friends.

The Origins of Autistics Anonymous
Check out Daisy Montgomery discussing the origins of Autistics Anonymous after speaking at Fort Collins Comic Con and why this work is so important to her!
Hi, I'm Daisy!
MBA, PMP
I'm an autistic ADHD woman, wife, and mother whose goal is to change the landscape of what is considered possible for autistics and their families.
​
Although autism is becoming more mainstream in conversation, misconceptions and harmful stereotypes still abound. Autistic unemployment rates consistently hover between 75-85% due to lack of understanding in the workplace and meaningful opportunities.
Autistics are more likely to be killed during police encounters or left out of academic programs due to ignorance of what autism is, how it can present under duress, and why autistics have certain behaviors. Loneliness and suicide are far too commonplace amongst the autistic population because of lack of support and social groups, with some studies indicating that 67% of autistics struggle with suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives.

Why you should work with me?
I’m actually autistic ADHD.
I am raising an autistic ADHD child.
My spouse is also autistic ADHD.​
Many autism and ADHD educators today are not autistic or ADHD, which leaves huge gaps in education around the "whys" behind the common behaviors that are seen with these neurodevelopmental disorders. Unless you live with these conditions every single day, you simply can't know what it's like when you're brain is working extremely hard against you every second of the day.
​
If you don't have that lived experience, how can you effectively "translate" autistic ADHD behaviors into a way that neurotypical, or in this context, non-autistic or ADHD, understand and can empathize with?
The short answer is: you can't.
With my 35 years of lived experience, and my extensive background in program management and learning and development, I create impactful trainings, keynotes, and neuro-inclusive processes for corporations, small businesses, and schools of all sizes.
​
And if you're the family of an autistic person, or an autistic person yourself, you can rest easy that I understand the struggles you're facing. You're not alone, and we can find a path forward together!
