5 Key Goals for Young Adults
on the Autism Spectrum
By Master Level Mentor Ken Rabow
In my 20-plus years of mentoring young adults on the autism spectrum, I have seen how many of my clients face some or all of the following:
anger issues, school challenges, too much time on screens, trouble making real-world friends, or communication struggles.
I focus on five key goals to help young adults on the autism spectrum build fulfilling, confident, and connected lives.
- Strengthen Social and Communication Skills
We start by creating a calm, judgment-free space where your child can safely practice conversations, both online and in real life. They learn to listen, share, and respond with clarity—turning awkward exchanges into genuine connections.
- Build Independence and Daily Structure
Together we create simple, repeatable systems for time management, organization, and self-care. Each success adds confidence and reduces the daily chaos that often leads to frustration at home.
- Develop Emotional Regulation and Coping Strategies
Mentoring gives your child tools to handle stress and manage strong emotions. They learn to pause, reflect, and recover instead of shutting down or reacting in anger.
- Strengthen the Parent–Child Relationship
Through “Parent-Partner Support,” we help you support progress without constant conflict. You’ll discover how to communicate in ways that keep trust intact and promote real independence.
- Encourage Personal Growth and Self-Esteem
As your child begins to see their own progress—in school, friendships, and daily life—they start to believe in themselves. Confidence grows not from words, but from actions earned through steady effort.
These five goals built step by step, turn difference into strength and create lasting change for both parent and child.
