34M - USA - Looking for mentor/coach to help organize my opportunities and help with my soft skills of business

First big issues im facing: I am nerodivergent and it affects how I see social signals. Because of this, I miss so many opportunities due to the inability to build trust with people or to sustain relationships long term. I am now in the phase of my business where relationships is 80% of my job and building the product is something I must delegate.

Im also really bad at social reciprocity. I never know how to give back to a person or when its appropriate.. and because of it, I have a lot of business professionals who gave me a lot... but slowly cut me off cause I couldnt (didnt know how to) give back.. I just dont know how to play "the social game" so I need some help there.

Second big issue: The nerodigergence also affects how I understand and prioritize tasks and my ability to see the bigger plan, even if Im the one who set the plan in motion. I am in school, giving public talks on my area of expertise, building a business, doing research, and editing a publication. I have many things that Im passionate about and I want to see grow.. but I dont know how to focus my energy on a day to day basis and end up doing only whats required. If I could get help seeing the whole plan and walking through it with someone as I execute, I would be more successful, I believe.

Sure, I've got some trauma, and for years, I've been in therapy working through it but I've watched my life go to hell infront of me whilst talking, weekly, to a therapist who had no solutions and just wanted me to "feel the feelings." Now, I want to try something different.. Something focused on specific results.

So, I'm looking for a life coach or mentor. Someone who can compassionately look at my situation with me, understand my weaknesses and strengths, and can help me put together a plan, then walk with me while I execute. Someone who will also help me see my social interactions from a different vantage point, and actually help me pinpoint behaviors that are contributing to the breakdowns in trust and communication.

You dont have to be an expert on adhd/autism as long as you believe me when I say things like, "I dont know what you mean by connection" and dont judge me when I ask questions that seem like middle school social issue. Cause, if Im honest, thats the level of relationships I currently have in my life.

Yes, I'm willing to pay the right person.
