Mission
I am deeply passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals on the Autism Spectrum. My mission is to infuse clients’ journey with unwavering support, genuine care, and boundless enthusiasm. By tapping into their unique strengths and fostering their personal growth, I will unleash their inner brilliance, sparking a sense of joy and empowerment that radiates through every aspect of their lives.
My Autism Gifts’ (MAG) Vision for You
Autism is not something to fix—but something to understand, support, and celebrate. At My Autism Gifts, our vision is a world where autistic adults are recognized for their unique strengths, passions, and potential—and where their contributions are welcomed at home, at work, and in the community.
Whether you’re a parent looking to support your adult child in building independence, or an autistic adult seeking to uplevel your own life—MAG offers coaching that meets you where you are. From improving communication and relationships to setting and achieving personal or professional goals, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
Founded by Coach Rob Hodes—a passionate autism advocate and personal development coach with 38 years of experience—My Autism Gifts is grounded in lived experience. Rob grew up in a time when autism was not understood, yet committed himself to becoming “autism capable.” His journey from being a shy, nonverbal introvert to a confident speaker, homeowner, and employed professional proves that when strengths are nurtured and barriers are redefined, transformation is possible.
At MAG, we believe every autistic adult—whether supported by family or seeking growth on their own—deserves the opportunity to thrive. We’re here to guide that journey with compassion, structure, and an unwavering belief in your potential.

At times Rob has told me things I haven’t wanted to hear, but he’s created a very safe place for me to say what’s on my mind and been a very trustworthy confidante. He always has a way of bringing me around to the truth I know is within me—that I can most always do better.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob Hodes many years ago while I was hosting a series of spiritual development workshops. His heartfelt encouragement and belief in my potential played an instrumental role in my blossoming success as a coach. Even now, I deeply value his wise counsel and unwavering support. These attributes truly define him as a coach.
” Tim Goldstein “
Ten years ago Rob introduced me to a Men’s organization that helped me improve my deteriorating family life. I’m now a better husband and a better father to my 13 year old son who has ADHD and needs a lot of extra support. Because of Rob’s help, my marriage was saved and I’m a better leader of my family.
” Tim Cavalier “
Rob always finds solutions to problems. He will take what is the worst problem of your life and break it into a few easy to do steps. By the end of the conversation your goals will be in bite size pieces and he will send you off to accomplish them with new hope. He’s great to have as an accountability partner because he accepts no excuses.
” Rodolfo Parra “
I met Rob in 2016 and connected with him immediately as we are both on the Autism Spectrum. As a person who grew up without a male role model Rob has helped me get on my feet by holding me accountable so I reach my goals faster. I got my first job and he taught me I don’t have to give my time away for free.
