About AE+

"I just wish I could talk to someone that can help answer my questions, provide clear next steps, and tell me when I'm on the right track."

AE+ is our ongoing advice and guidance program specifically designed to help young adults and parents of autistic children or teenagers with daily issues related to life on the spectrum.

This is not therapy, and it's more than just a book or course. It's ongoing access to the practical tools, expert knowledge, and human guidance you need to navigate daily life, and overcome the daily challenges of parenting and supporting your loved one on the spectrum.

How does AE+ work? It’s simple.

When you subscribe to AE+, you get immediate access to three powerful resources to help you find clarity, build stronger relationships, reduce stress, and create better outcomes for your entire family:

Unlimited 24/7 Text-Based Coaching with Harbor.
Complete Access to all AE Books and Courses ($750+ value)
Live Q&A Office Hours with AE Staff (2x Weekly)

For just $55/month $65/month, you'll get immediate access to everything we offer - with no long-term commitment required. You can cancel anytime, but we're confident that once you experience the clarity and confidence that comes with having reliable support at your fingertips 24/7, anytime you need it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Complete Access to All AE Books & Courses

Your AE+ subscription includes immediate access to our entire digital library of AE courses and books ($750+ value)– the same materials we've sold individually for years to help thousands of families worldwide.

Our comprehensive library covers essential topics like:

Understanding and getting out of Defense Mode
Building genuine motivation and engagement
Developing effective communication strategies
Supporting executive functioning development
Navigating transitions and building independence
Creating accountability without causing shutdown

These materials are created by autistic experts who've lived these experiences firsthand. They provide in-depth understanding and practical strategies that go far beyond what you'll find in typical parenting resources.

Group Q&A Office Hours (Twice Weekly)

Some questions need a human touch. That's why AE+ includes access to our live group Q&A sessions held twice each week with AE staff members (expertly-trained AE coaches– not volunteers).

These sessions provide:

Direct access to AE team members who understand autism from the inside out
A chance to ask specific questions about your situation and get tailored guidance
The opportunity to learn from the questions and experiences of other parents' and young adults on the spectrum
A supportive environment where no question is too basic or too complex

Sessions are held every Monday at 2:00 PM Pacific Time (5:00 PM Eastern) and every Wednesday at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (8:00 PM Eastern). Can't make it live? No problem! Recordings are sent out afterward, so you can catch up when it's convenient for you.

Who Is AE+ For?

Great For...

Parents & Young Adults

AE+ is specifically created for the parents and caregivers of autistic children and teens, as well as for adults on the spectrum themselves, who want practical, reliable support for daily challenges and long-term development.

Not So Great For...

Individuals Seeking Therapy

AE+ is not therapy, and while we can help with a wide variety of topics, we are not doctors, therapists or lawyers and do not help with medical, legal or crisis situations. You can think of AE+ as help for the other 23 hours a day when you aren't talking with another professional. Our focus is on providing parents/caregivers and young adults on the spectrum with tools and support to create better environments and interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does my access start?

Your access to all AE+ features begins immediately after subscribing. You'll get instant access to text-based coaching with Harbor, our complete course and book library, and information about the next upcoming Q&A sessions (every Monday and Wednesday).

What devices does AE+ work on?

We support all modern devices that can access the internet including laptops, desktops, iPads & other tablets, and smartphones. You can also download our free app from your App Store to access your courses and use Harbor on the go. Just search "Autism Experts".

Is there a long-term commitment?

No. AE+ is a monthly subscription that you can cancel anytime. We don't require any long-term contracts or commitments.

What ages of children is this appropriate for?

AE+ is designed for parents of children aged 7 and up, including teens and young adults. Our frameworks and approaches work equally well across this age range, with appropriate adaptations for developmental stages.

What happens if I can't attend the live Q&A sessions?

No problem! We record all sessions and send them to subscribers afterward. You can also submit questions in advance if you know you'll miss a session.

What makes Harbor different from general advice?

Harbor is trained specifically on AE's proven frameworks and methodologies. It provides tailored guidance based on what actually works for autistic individuals, not general advice. Harbor is different because it was specifically designed by people with autism– based on our professional expertise and our "lived it" experience– to help you apply our proven approaches to your specific situation.

How is this different from therapy?

AE+ is not therapy and does not replace the need for medical, legal, or mental health services when appropriate. We provide educational resources, coaching support, and practical strategies to help parents and young adults create better environments and interactions. Our focus is on providing tools and approaches that work in real-world settings. You can think of AE+ as help for the other 23 hours a day when you aren't talking with another professional.

If I'm outside the USA, can I still join?

Absolutely! AE+ is available worldwide. Our Q&A sessions are scheduled to accommodate multiple time zones, and recordings are always available if you can't attend live.
