Autistic Adulting Leadership Hacks: Clarity, Purpose & Chaos Navigation | Maria Cristini Interview

Send us a textAutistic adulting lost in chaos? In this raw ramble on Adulting with Autism, host April (autistic OT) chats with executive coach Maria Cristini on inside-out leadership for neurodivergent wins. With 25 years helping leaders (college grads to CEOs) navigate uncertainty, Maria shares values-driven hacks from her book TWO FEET IN: Finding Clarity, Purpose, and Passion in Your Life and Career—core values alignment, CliftonStrengths for natural strengths, growth edge over imposter syndrome, and calendar color-coding for work-life balance.Transcript gems: Translating personal strengths (e.g., hyper-focus) to careers, honoring values through daily actions (legacy via kindness, not money), and thriving in transitions (forced job changes? Lean into joy-bringers like fun/recreation). For autistic young adults crafting roles, parents guiding launches, or OT squad balancing burnout, this is your 'what the actual?' clarity toolkit—no faking it, just authentic power.Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: Chaos & Maria's Journey 2:30 - Why Coaching?
