Â
Kendall Autism Support & Consulting (KASC) is a leadership and workplace development firm specializing in the intersection of neurodiversity, behavior, and capacity management. Founded by retired educator and organizational strategist Tanyika Mayhew Butler, KASC helps corporations strengthen culture, reduce burnout, and support high-capacity leaders through systems rooted in behavioral clarity and Life Management Leadership™. With expertise shaped by 27 years inside schools and 23 years navigating autism, Tanyika equips teams to manage emotional overload, improve communication, support neurodiverse employees, and eliminate Capacity Leakage Points™ that silently drain performance. Organizations partner with KASC to build workplaces where people regulate before they react, leaders protect their capacity, and excellence becomes sustainable not costly.
What We Do
At KASC, we strengthen organizations and families by improving how people understand behavior, capacity, and leadership.
Our work blends autism expertise with high-level Life Management strategy giving teams and leaders the systems they need to function without overwhelm.
âś” Corporate Wellness & Staff Training
We focus on the chokeholds that quietly damage culture overextension, unclear expectations, emotional overload, and unsupported leadership.
âś” Private Life Management for Leaders
A discreet, 1:1 experience for high-capacity women navigating pressure, image expectations, and quiet exhaustion. Using the Life Management Framework™, we help leaders seal Capacity Leakage Points™, recalibrate their energy, and protect their excellence without collapsing behind it.
âś” Parent Coaching & Family Support
Why We’re Different
Because everything we create is built through storytelling,Â
the kind that reveals gaps, exposes chokeholds, and transforms how people understand behavior, leadership, and capacity.
We don’t hand out information.
We hand out stories that turn confusion into clarity and clarity into action.
Our storytelling becomes:
-
systems families can implement
-
tools leaders can use immediately
-
frameworks organizations can build culture around
Storytelling is how we teach.
Systems are what remain.
Transformation is what follows.
This is strategy wrapped in story—
and that’s why it lasts.
Meet our Founder, Tanyika Mayhew Butler
Meet the Founder: Tanyika Mayhew Butler
She didn’t just overcome chokeholds; she built a framework from them.
Tanyika Mayhew Butler’s work didn’t begin in a conference room.
It began in hospitals, school hallways, IEP meetings, leadership boardrooms, and the quiet moments where strong women collapse behind their excellence.
She is a wife of 27 years, mother of two, autism advocate, retired educator, multiple sclerosis warrior, and creator of the Life Management Framework™, a system born from overcoming chokeholds that would have broken most, designed to empower others to build resilient systems.
When her daughter Kendall was diagnosed with autism at 18 months and later with an intellectual disability, ADHD, and emotional-behavioral challenges Tanyika wasn’t handed guidance.
She was handed gaps:
Silence, stigma, resistance, misdiagnoses, and a system unprepared for her daughter’s brilliance.
She didn’t crumble.
She built systems.
Five schools in five years.
Behavior units. Suspensions. Attorney meetings.
Middle school trauma.
Custodial staff knew her by name.
All while navigating her own MS diagnosis.
This is where she discovered a truth she now teaches:
Overwhelm doesn’t break you...
Unsupported responsibility does.
And that’s where systems and pivots matter most.
From Autism Strategy → To Life Management Leadership
With 27 years in education, Tanyika became the strategist schools trust to stabilize teams, train staff, and create inclusive systems that actually work.
Her autism work spans:
- district-wide educator trainings
- neurodiversity-focused professional development
- autism crisis and behavior de-escalation supports
- family systems coaching
- Keynote speaking for organizations committed to inclusive leadership
But her evolution didn’t end there.
While leading, parenting, caregiving, writing, and advocating, she discovered another chokehold functional exhaustion behind her own excellence. She learned firsthand how identity, leadership roles, cultural expectations, and image maintenance can quietly suffocate a woman at the top. That’s when the pivot began.
The Pivot That Built the Framework
MS flare-ups.
Acute liver failure.
Stacked leadership roles.
Entrepreneurship.
Caregiving.
Identity loss.
Reinvention.
Survival is a strength.
Tanyika didn’t just recover, she recalibrated.
She created what she never had:
The Life Management Framework™, centered around identifying and sealing Capacity Leakage Points™, the silent drains that cause high-achieving women to collapse behind their excellence.
Now, she privately partners with executive women to help them:
- Stop the quiet collapse
- Pivot without damaging their image
- Align responsibility with true capacity
- Rebuild leadership from clarity, not exhaustion
- Experience success that doesn’t cost them their health or identity
Life Management is not coaching.
 Life Management is about Leadership™.
