We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020. She cared a lot about the boys and worked hard to create meaningful activities for them. The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through. Thanks for sticking with us!

Dusty was the exact person we needed to help our child finish out the school year. So grateful to him for the way he steadily encouraged her and helped her stay on track and organized.

My child started the school year with confidence and without the typically "brain-drain" that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.

Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics.

As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them. -
We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved.

My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
-
We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

Adult AuDHD Coaching for Autism + ADHD
Neuro-Affirming Support for Executive Function, Burnout, Masking, and Daily Life
Adults with AuDHD (the overlap of autism and ADHD) often experience challenges that differ significantly from ADHD alone.
Many adults navigate:
- sensory overwhelm
- chronic masking
- executive dysfunction
- autistic burnout
- social fatigue
- communication challenges
- task switching difficulties
- nervous system overload
Our coaching is designed around these overlapping experiences rather than traditional productivity-focused ADHD coaching.
Our work is designed for professionals who want sustainable systems—not pressure to “try harder.” Whether you are dealing with a recent ADHD diagnosis or have navigated these traits for years, we provide the emotional support and practical strategies needed to thrive.
AuDHD: When Autism and ADHD Create Unique Executive Function Challenges
After college, external structure often disappears while expectations increase. For individuals with ADHD and autism, this shift can reveal executive function challenges that were previously masked by intelligence or effort. This disorder, often characterized by an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder profile alongside autistic traits, can make it difficult to manage multiple tasks and specific tasks simultaneously.
Common experiences include:
- Difficulty transitioning between tasks
- Exhaustion from constant masking
- Sensory overload that disrupts productivity
- Difficulty balancing competing autistic and ADHD needs
- Periods of hyperfocus followed by shutdown
- Social exhaustion after meetings, networking, or group interactions
- Difficulty recovering from overstimulation
These patterns reflect neurological differences—not a lack of motivation or professionalism.
Common Experiences Adults with AuDHD Describe
Many adults with AuDHD report:
- Feeling “too autistic” in ADHD spaces
- Feeling “too ADHD” in autism spaces
- Constantly adapting behavior to meet expectations
- Difficulty understanding personal limits until burnout occurs
- Struggles with sensory environments
- Difficulty balancing spontaneity and structure
- Feeling misunderstood despite high intelligence
- Cycles of hyperfocus and exhaustion
These experiences are common and often shape the coaching process.
Neuro-Affirming Coaching for Adults with AuDHD
Themba Tutors takes a neuro-affirming, adult-centered approach to Adult AuDHD Coaching. We do not aim to change your behavior or force productivity systems that don’t fit your brain. Instead, we help you design personalized strategies that align with how you naturally think.
Our coaching services help you manage ADHD symptoms by understanding:
- The role of sensory load and task switching.
- The long-term risks of unmanaged burnout.
- How autism and ADHD create competing needs.
For example:
– craving structure while resisting structure
– needing stimulation while becoming overstimulated
– wanting connection while experiencing social exhaustion
– hyperfocusing while struggling with task initiation
Understanding these internal conflicts is often a central part of AuDHD coaching.
While we are not a therapist or psychologists providing ADHD treatment or behavioral therapy, our coaches work alongside such professionals to provide tactical, real-world relief.
Why AuDHD Coaching Requires a Different Approach
Themba Tutors specializes in executive function training for adults with complex learning and attention profiles. Traditional ADHD productivity systems do not always work for AuDHD adults. Strategies that ignore sensory needs, autistic burnout, masking demands, and recovery capacity often become unsustainable. Our coaching focuses on building systems that respect both autistic and ADHD traits simultaneously.
Our coaches bring:
- Years of experience supporting young adults and seasoned professionals.
- Expertise in building sustainable systems that support both autistic and ADHD traits in demanding environments.
- Extensive experience working with students, entrepreneurs, and creatives.
We recognize that many AuDHD adults are capable and highly motivated—but unsupported by systems designed for neurotypical workflows.

How We Support Adults Navigating AuDHD in Daily Life
We provide targeted support for executive function challenges that often occur alongside AuDHD, including task initiation difficulties, cognitive overload, transitions between tasks, and balancing productivity with sensory and emotional sustainability. Our goal is to help you build study skills for graduate school or professional certifications while managing the heavy cognitive load of a career.
Managing workplace communication
- Understanding sensory and social demands
- Reducing meeting fatigue
- Advocating for accommodations when appropriate
- Creating sustainable work routines
Burnout Prevention & Recovery
Autistic burnout is not the same as ordinary stress. Many adults with AuDHD describe cycles of:
- overperforming
- masking
- pushing through overwhelm
- shutdown
- withdrawal
- recovery
Coaching helps identify these cycles earlier and create systems that reduce the likelihood of repeated burnout.

Who Benefits Most from Adult AuDHD Coaching
This service is designed specifically for post-college adults, including:
- Early- and mid-career professionals in New York and beyond.
- Freelancers and those returning to work after burnout.
- Graduate students navigating advanced degrees.
We also offer support for children and adolescents through our separate youth division, ensuring a continuum of care as they transition into adulthood.
Our Coaching Process
1. Comprehensive Intake
We explore your work environment, goals, strengths, sensory needs, and stress points.
2. Custom Strategy Design
You learn executive function tools and communication strategies designed specifically for AuDHD adults.
3. Real-World Application
Strategies are tested and refined within your actual job or professional context.
4. Ongoing Support
Systems evolve as responsibilities change, reducing the risk of future burnout.
Many adults with AuDHD succeed early through effort alone, only to experience burnout as a demand compound. Targeted executive function coaching can restore clarity, confidence, and long-term sustainability—regardless of location.
Client Experiences
Ethan is having a fantastic junior year, thanks to Alissa’s support and all the habits she has helped him build over the past 4 years. He had his highest GPA this past quarter.
I recently had another reason to be grateful for Alissa and Themba Tutors as I met with Ethan’s guidance counselor for a college application meeting. She was so complimentary of Ethan, his academic achievements, AP course load and his portfolio of extracurricular activities. In the context of college preparation, she praised his readiness and his diligent work over the past 2 years.
I know for a fact we wouldn’t be looking at the colleges he is considering if Alissa hadn’t been by our side throughout this entire journey. I am forever grateful to Alissa and Themba for making such a difference in our lives.
– Talia
I can’t recommend Felicity enough. We’ve worked with a lot of coaches and care providers, and she is aces. She relates well with our daughter — which doesn’t happen all the time. She’s caring and empathetic, and when she spoke with my wife and me, she was full of sage and sound suggestions. Her vast experience, high intelligence, and evidence-based approach are great.
– David
I can’t say enough good things about Alissa. Alissa is absolutely wonderful. She brings such kind, warm, caring energy, is fun and engaging, and is also so organized and helpful to our daughter in tutoring both executive functioning and academics. She is able to see her issues so well and I can tell that our daughter really trusts and likes Alissa– they have formed a very nice bond. Alissa is also highly communicative with me and keeps in excellent touch with our daughter. Thank you for introducing us to her… we are very grateful.

FAQ: Adult AuDHD Coaching (NYC & Remote)
1. Do you only work with adults in NYC?
No. We offer both NYC-based sessions and Adult AuDHD Coaching outside the New York area.
2. Is remote coaching effective for AuDHD?
Yes. Sessions are structured, interactive, and tailored to executive function support in real-world work environments.
3. Do I need a formal diagnosis?
No. Many adults with ADHD and autism seek coaching based on lived experience or self-identification.
4. Is this therapy?
No. Coaching focuses on skills, systems, and practical workplace strategies—not mental health treatment.
5. Can coaching help with burnout?
Yes. Burnout prevention and recovery are core components of our adult AuDHD coaching.
6. How is AuDHD coaching different from ADHD coaching?
While there is overlap, AuDHD coaching recognizes the interaction between autistic and ADHD traits. Coaching may address sensory processing, masking, social fatigue, autistic burnout, communication differences, and competing needs around structure, stimulation, and recovery. These issues are often not addressed in traditional ADHD coaching alone.
