Empowering Different Brains

At Different Brains, we recognize the deep uncertainty that many families face when their neurodiverse young adult ages out of traditional support systems. For parents who have spent years advocating, planning, and fighting for their child’s future, the transition into adulthood can feel isolating and overwhelming.
We’re here to step in when those systems stop—offering ongoing guidance and tools for neurodiverse individuals and their families. Our long-term approach is rooted in inclusion, empowerment, and meeting people where they are, so they can build confident, independent futures together.
