About Caroline, the Misfit Behind the Brand

A social confidence coach, community organizer, and Autistic introvert who became a socially confident version of myself.

Hi, I'm Caroline, the founder and owner of The Introverted Misfit! I’m a graduate of Auburn University’s School of Computer Science and Software Engineering class of 2021, a full-time software and website developer, and a part-time social confidence coach, and a social confidence facilitator in Auburn, AL.

At one point in my life, I had such bad social anxiety that my counselor wanted to start me on medication to ease my nerves in social settings. I was scared of talking to people because I didn’t know how to talk to them; I didn’t know how to play the social game that I saw everyone else playing.

The reason for my struggles with communication became clear when I was diagnosed with Level 1 Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is a neurological disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. Because I was able to become a socially confident version of myself without acting being perfect and without pretending to be someone I’m not, I do the same for my clients in my 1-on-1 work and the members of my community, The Right Fit Community — whether they’re on the spectrum, struggle with shyness and social awkwardness, or all of those challenges combined.

I help people with social fears, differences, and difficulties find where they fit in and become socially confident while being themselves.

Right now you might struggle with your social confidence as an introvert — whether or not you’re on the spectrum or not, and it’s preventing you from creating and sustaining a healthy social life, business connections, and personal relationships. I can help with that! With my 1-on-1 coaching services for people who feel very nervous and awkward in social settings, I guide you on how to become a socially confident without being loud, extroverted, or having 100% perfect social skills; you can use your unique communication strengths to connect with the right kind of people!

Here’s what I am NOT:

I’m not an autism expert or specialist.
I’m not a professional counselor, therapist, or psychologist.
I’m not someone who wants to force you to become someone you’re not.

Here’s what I AM:

I am social confidence coach for people who need help in the social arena — whether they’re autistic or not.
I am an introverted woman who happens to be on the spectrum and is not ashamed of it.
I am someone who used to be scared of talking to people, and then I discovered that they’re not so scary after all. So, I help other people discover that same thing for themselves.
