But I can help everyone who reads the book to understand their autistic young person a little better, and to create an environment where they will thrive.Always consider whose needs you are meeting - if you are doing this because you feel you ought to, but really don’t feel prepared - it might be best to let someone else take the lead (perhaps someone from school), while you access support and develop your own understanding of autism. A book packed full of vital information, but also easy to navigate, making it simple to find the advice you are looking for. It supports you to support your autistic young person, and to advocate for them in the wider world which doesn’t yet have this new understanding. A diverse collection of autistic voices that highlights how parents can avoid common mistakes and misconceptions, and make their child feel truly accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are.
