“You can’t change the internet and you can’t keep it away from your child forever. All you can do is teach them to be good human beings, to teach turn to be concerned about who they hang out with. And if you can do that, you’re going to create an exceptional kid.”

My sweet clients, bear with me—I’m working as I can!

Because I am tech challenged and couldn’t link my Google review—read it here:

The world truly needs all kinds of minds—and Open Door genuinely lives that belief. Their mission to focus on capability over disability, and person over diagnosis, isn’t just a slogan; it’s something they embody every single day.

Open Door has been nothing short of incredible with my teenage son, who bravely occupies his own space on the autism spectrum, bringing strengths that are often overlooked while still needing guidance and support. He is in that weird in-between stage—too old to be a kid, not quite ready for adulthood, wanting more independence but also completely overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Despite working with the neurodivergent population myself (and usually knowing exactly what to say), when it comes to my own child, those what-to-do conversations often ended in frustration (me) and eye rolls (teen).

Enter David. Somehow, he speaks my son’s language in ways I can’t. He meets him exactly where he is, challenges his thinking, and—respectfully, in bro code—calls him on his BS when needed. And my son actually listens. That alone feels like magic.

And shoutout to Jeff (yayyy Jeff!), his job coach, who is equally amazing. He works hands-on with my son each week and has built a connection that’s supportive, encouraging, and empowering.
I’m deeply grateful for Open Door, for David and his team, and for the fact that they’ve brought this service to our community. What they do doesn’t feel like “just a job”—it’s clearly a calling. A passion. And it’s making a real, true difference in our lives.

EMPLOYABILITY.

Hi guys!
Just a quick note about my delayed responses:
My mom is in the hospital in Chattanooga, so that is taking me out of regular scheduling. I appreciate your patience while we get her fixed up! Do send me a prompt if needed!

🌟🌟Ask the Expert 🌟🌟 (it’s not me 😆)

I met a new family with a child close to my son’s age. I don’t know how it feels to have autism with siblings that do not, so I asked my son how he felt. He gave me a thoughtful answer.

Later, he said, “Why did you ask me?” I told him his perspective could help me understand how to help this family.

He grinned. “Oh, so you wanted to ask the expert autistic kid, huh?”

This got me thinking. He’s right. He knows more about living in his brain and body than any book I read. I learn from him constantly.
Teenage boys are complex, neurodivergent or not.

If any of you would like to send me questions you’d like him to provide his viewpoint on, send me a DM or an email to hollykcrabtree@gmail.com.

🧠 DISCLAIMER:
J insisted I add that he is not a professionally trained or degree-holding autistic person; he is just a “kinda” regular kid with sixteen years experience.

“Mom, put ‘expert’ in quotes. And say I don’t give any legal advice, just maybe an idea of how to understand their kid better.” —JC
