I'm Yas Shirinzadeh, a Licensed Educational Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I help parents of children with autism and ADHD feel informed, supported, and empowered — so they can parent with more clarity, calm, and compassion.

If you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to support your child, you're not alone — and you're in the right place. As you already know, parenting a child with autism or ADHD comes with unique challenges that can leave even the most dedicated parents feeling stuck and discouraged.

You might be navigating daily meltdowns, struggling to understand what your child needs, or constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe you're tired of walking on eggshells, repeating strategies that just don’t seem to work, or feeling judged by others who don’t understand your child’s behavior.

It doesn’t have to be this hard.

With the right support, it’s absolutely possible to reduce daily power struggles, respond with confidence (instead of reactivity), and build a stronger, more connected relationship with your child. Even the most difficult moments can become opportunities for growth — for both of you.

Here, you’ll find practical tools, evidence-based strategies, and a judgment-free space to help you better understand your child’s brain, meet their unique needs, and take care of yourself along the way.

Let’s create more connection, confidence, and joy — even in the messy moments.

And I’m not just another parenting “expert” — honestly, I’m not a fan of that word! I’m not here to dish out generic advice from the sidelines. I bring real-world experience, clinical training, and personal insight to the work I do with families every day.

Here’s a bit about my background:
